no i'm sorry to say it does exist as much as i would hate to admit it, but it does work both ways now considering affirmative action. there have been studies showing 2 people applying for the same job with one person having a typical caucasian sounding name and the other having a totally african american name like lakeesha and 9 times out of 10 the person with the african american sounding name did not get a call back. also think of all the african americans that get locked up for minimal charges compared to caucasians or qualified minorities not being showed houses in certain areas by realtors because of their skin color etc etc etc etc as much as you dont want to admit it and as wrong as it is messed up stuff like this still happens.

please nobody cares about the sound of someones name just the cash and assets they have. Most Realtors do background checks if your credit rating comes back a problem and they have to work with you, most of the time they are going to show you the crap houses on their list. last thing they want to do is show you a house that 100,000 dollars above your price range then have you want him to haggle with the home owners over 50k only to have you back out of the deal because you cant get a bigger loan.
#2 when does anyone have the same resume? Ever? with comparable skills unless its in a low skilled job? LOL so what if they didn't get a call back seriously I have been through 100's of job interviews only a few companies actually call back. Jobs are not a given ever. Here's a test put a white male with a ba and no work experience against a black women with a phd from an ivy league school if the white male gets the job then you know there is white privilege if he doesn't then maybe just maybe its all bs. Please dont kill me for saying this but if your test was so correct why is it every time I go to the DMV there is a couple of black ladies with a very African sounding names behind the counter. I'm sure most people will laugh but seriously think about your DMV visit I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Waiting for the out rage in 5 4 3 2 1
seriously though without how the test was conducted the example is useless? Show me the scientific journal it was in? link please. This post was just for i cant believe you just said that response but the reality is you need to show now the test was conducted to find its faults or strengths other wise its just as informed as I just soundededit on 6-8-2013 by digital01anarchy because: (no reason given)
you're in denial dude. before u start rambling about whites getting unfair treatment, i did mention in my post that it can go both ways, affirmative action etc etc...

"Dudes trying to sell drugs"
lets start with that, or is it just so common now?
"young dude"
minding his own business, probably studying, wants too get out of the jungle.
"young dude snitched, drug dealing dudes get mad...I don't get it,"
ya, grade 6 young dude,,vs 3 Teens at once.He knew he'd pay for doing the right thing.but he had the guts to do it anyway.
i do get it.
Race bait trolling thread alert. This is ATS where every time a white person gets beat up by a black person it was because of racial motivation. Most of ATS does not live in reality and lead extremely culturally sheltered lives. The kid was beat up for TELLING ON THEM, not because he was white.

however had this been three white kids beating up a black kid for snitching.. there would be a chance this would be blown out of proportion and the black panthers would be putting a bounty on the kids heads.edit on 6-8-2013 by votan because: (no reason given)edit on 6-8-2013 by votan because: (no reason given)

So why do you make this a race based thread?

wrong there was a case recently here in illinois where 4 white people killed 2 black men and had sex on his body, black panthers, jesse jackson or obama did not get involved. it did not get much more than local coverage, the msm did not make a big deal out of it etc etc quit being paranoid.
