African Americans:

Obama: Current President of the United States. White Americans: Clinton: former president of the United States; Bush: former president of the United States; Miller: former goalkeeper of the U.S. men's national football team. American naming is "black and white": currently, among the Hollywood star circles in the United States, giving a child a unique name is the most popular thing. For example, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin named their newborn "Apple" (meaning "Apple"); Tom Cruise named his daughter "Suri" ("Suri"). " is a name commonly used by Eastern Europeans), which surprised the outside world. These unusual names certainly sound memorable, but some researchers think they're not worth promoting. Roland Fryer, an economist and associate professor at Harvard University in the United States, said: "30% of black baby girls born in California every year are given a name that has never been used by anyone else. It is very common for white people to be named 'Molly', California *** There are 16 million people named Molly, and only 6 of them are black. In addition, there is no white person named 'Lakasha'. This name is very typical with 'Aida', 'Reginald', etc. "Resume experiment: ABC's ace program - the TV news magazine "20/20" once collected 22 pairs of names, half with white names, half with black names, and then placed them in the same content. Your resume is posted online. It was found that resumes with "white names" were downloaded much more than resumes with "black names". Name affects career and spouse selection: American psychologist Brett Pelham once studied hundreds of thousands of names and believed that names can obviously affect a person's life. For example, he gave the example that it is not an accident that a person named "Leaper" (English name means "leaper") became a high jumper; many people named "Dennis" later became dentists. Doctors (dentists); and a person named "George" (George) is more likely to become a geologist (geologist). A name can even affect a person's marriage. Pelham said: "My research has found that people with similar names are more likely to become marriage partners or friends." He gave the example of stars Tom Cruise dating Penelope Cruz and Paris Hilton once having a romantic relationship with Paris Hilton. Reese Laches's engagement was no accident. Names reflect social bias: Making decisions based on your name may be wrong, experts say, but 'on the other hand, your name says the most about you. If you're happy with your name, you'll be happy with anything that resembles your name ". Name bias actually reflects social bias. Although the mainstream society in the United States honors black people as "African-American", the name bias that exists in the workplace and other fields makes black people have to work harder than others. Of course, there are some outstanding African Americans who have overcome the negative impact of black names, such as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Sociologists believe that, to some extent, overcoming prejudice requires challenging society rather than changing its name.
