As a white American guy (I'm sorry. I mean "cac"), I'm wondering if someone can give real examples of "ethnic" names. I want to know mainly from those who say they don't want to give their kids white names. What are some good names in your opinion?

I'm Muslim, so my kids all have Islamic/Arabic names, some more "ethnic" than others.

I have one of the "whitest" sound names you can think of. My first, middle and surname can all be easily exchanged on some David Keith/Keith David types shyt.. The utter stupidity of thinking of having a "white" sounding name (whatever that means) somehow insulates you from your skin.

In my 9 to 5 days, I always got this look when I showed up.

Warren Sapp should already know that a person's name isn't a guarantee to get a job, unless said name is connected through networking, family ties, etc.

His kids could have a non-ethnic sounding name, all the credentials for a job and still get passed over based on their physical features.

As for him having access to a lot of money and having the opportunities to start ventures to create generational wealth, I don't think it is that simple.

I do feel that he should teach his kids to have entrepreneurship as a viable option when they are old enough to venture into the world as young adults.

Smart move. People are going to call him a c00n, but it's a small thing to do to increase your kid's chances at employment.

I understand the logic and he's right. Couldn't be me though. My children will be black, it will already come with some struggle. I'm not about to give them a white name to make it easy on them, just like I won't procreate with a white woman because a lighter skin will make their boss more comfortable.

This. Corporate America is racist. They will hold a name against you instead of your credentials.

I know thecoli will call me a c00n but I agree with him the name doesn't have to be white per say but they do have computers that will screen out certain names before a human even look at an app..

Please, all ethnicities have had to conform to American. I grew up in multi ethnic communities in Silver Spring MD. Lots of Asian and Indian people had American first names which are nicknames for some long winded ethnic name kids couldn't pronounce and made fun of. Stop targeting nikkas with this shyt.

:manny:Nothing to hate on here. Theres multiple ways to attempt to finesse the system, and this is one of them. Countless studies show that certain sounding names will disqualify you off rip in many cases whether ppl like it or not. Getting your foot in the door is the most crucial part. But if you strictly rock with "african/AA" names to the death, salute to you too.

This is Just another snake tactic from scum ass DJVlad trying to get us to fight each other again. I just hate how discussing competitive advantages in a blatantly corrupt azz system ALWAYS has to turn into c00n wars. Theres more than one way to play and theres nothing wrong with adding finesse to your game

You do know that the House of Hasburg, which is Austrian meaning a Germanic people birthed the Spanish Royals right?

Habsburg Spain - Wikipedia

History of Spain - Wikipedia
:jbhmm: The house that unified Spain is Germanic so what does that make the Spanish Royals?

They did not create the spanish language smart dumb nikka, that is what you quoted me on, trying to correct somebody with bullshyt facts

Mercedes does not have Germanic Origin lol. Just stop it lol Mercedes is not German lol

Lame ass nikka, trying to prove a point and want to be right and your point is wrong. Lame ass nikka

Is employment and job security everything to you clowns ? So you call yourself a men yet have to ask to use the bathroom :wrist:


Call yourself a man but have to wait for another man to sign off on your paycheck :wrist:

Call yourself a man yet can only take two weeks of a 52 week year off to yourself or risk getting fired :wrist:

Be proud of modern day debt slavery brehs :wrist:


I’m not the one I’m gonna stay living sucker free with 5 figures in my pockets at all times answering to no man. :ninja1:

Breh, I already said what Sapp did was lame. I'm focusing just on the resume aspect of it because I've seen it myself, not the birth certificate and SS card.

I'm only saying there are clear cut studies that show that you have a MUCH better chance if you put a whiter sounding name on your resume. When I say put your kids on, I'm saying is put a nickname in their job applications. That's it. Sometimes you have to cheat the game to win.

I'm Haitian and my kids are definitely getting French names :manny:

Better choose the right one, a percentage of AA names especially females are of french origin so you might end up with a ethnic name anyway.
