I have no doubt about the stigma... but one should be careful about letting stereotypes into their decision process particularly when it comes to hiring and race. It is not just morally wrong it is against the law (at least in the US).

I'm sure the hiring manager who posted earlier will say it doesn't affect the decision but the subconscious bias is a real thing.

I concur, but I'd rephrase it like so: It's not just against the law, it is morally wrong.
