> It is thanks to racist attitudes like this that I changed my name from an Indian one to an American-sounding one. And whaddaya know, my callbacks shot way up.

Ah, brings tears to my eyes :)

It's amazing how true this is (applies to most minority groups). With my native name, a lot of companies don't even seem interested in sparing a second look.

With the Americanized version, I've had no problems at all landing interviews (and getting hired!).
