Some pertinent information seems to be lacking. Where are these businesses located. What ethnicity was the HR professional in charge of hiring. I believe these companies were quite possibly white-owned or in ethnically white areas. Not that those issues should make any difference, but don't you think the results would be opposite if it was a black HR professional, black owned business or in an ethnically black area?It doesn't mean overt, extreme racism is rampant in America. It's existence is much more subtle and insidious than that. Some people may exhibit signs of racism subconsciously.
If you don't question the legitimacy of any survey or study, you might just as well clip that lead to the ring in your nose because you are certainly being led around by it.If you don't like the findings of a study, question its legitimacy.
What I saw was that reading proficiency was not a requirement for those jobs.Georgia-Pacific’s literacy test fails to make the grade
The U.S. Labor Department recently ruled that Georgia-Pacific’s use of a literacy test to screen applicants for jobs at its paper mills is discriminatory. The reason: Paper-mill workers don’t need to read well and black applicants are far more likelywww.thehrspecialist.com
Notice what the feds say
Not me, the federal government
Blacks are less able to pass a literacy test than whites
What Researchers Discovered When They Sent 80,000 Fake Résumés to U.S. Jobs
A group of economists recently performed an experiment on around 100 of the largest companies in the country, applying for jobs using made-up résumés with equivalent qualifications but different personal characteristics. They changed applicants’ names to suggest that they were white or Black, and male or female — Latisha or Amy, Lamar or Adam.
On Monday, they released the names of the companies. On average, they found, employers contacted the presumed white applicants 9.5 percent more often than the presumed Black applicants.
Yet this practice varied significantly by firm and industry. One-fifth of the companies — many of them retailers or car dealers — were responsible for nearly half of the gap in callbacks to white and Black applicants.
Two companies favored white applicants over Black applicants significantly more than others. They were AutoNation, a used car retailer, which contacted presumed white applicants 43 percent more often, and Genuine Parts Company, which sells auto parts including under the NAPA brand, and called presumed white candidates 33 percent more often.

Some companies discriminated against Black applicants much more than others, and H.R. practices made a big difference.www.nytimes.com
It doesn't mean overt, extreme racism is rampant in America. It's existence is much more subtle and insidious than that. Some people may exhibit signs of racism subconsciously. Or not consider it to be racism at all.
What is much more difficult to measure than the job discrimination this study reveals is the affect on blacks in America. To what extent has it caused the economic and educational disparities that exist given what some call systemic racism has been going on for centuries.
Among "conservatives"? Obviously, you have NOT been paying attention.I see you have a chosen a popular form of denial among conservatives. If you don't like the findings of a study, question its legitimacy. Kinda like what happened when Trump and his minions didn't like the outcome of the 2020 election.
OPINION. We have been around for 80+ years,
And it looks like most just are not able to be Honest when it when talking about Black people.
Spent about half our lives in a Very liberal state. The discrimination mostly largely settled around housing.
We just had no idea just how bad it was in other parts of our country. Early in 1960 in a trip to Louisiana,
We stayed in hotels with big painted yellow lines in front of drinking fountains WHITES ONLY.
ON the road bathrooms just White men woman. and some times just a ditch behind, was the COLORED spot.
What we REALLY need to talk about is what the housing discrimination has created.
What is certain is that any company that preferred the "Black named" applicants over the White named applicants was discarded as an "outlier".What Researchers Discovered When They Sent 80,000 Fake Résumés to U.S. Jobs

That is anything but “certain”What is certain is that any company that preferred the "Black named" applicants over the White named applicants was discarded as an "outlier".
Some of the answers to your questions are available if you use the links provided in the OP.Some pertinent information seems to be lacking. Where are these businesses located. What ethnicity was the HR professional in charge of hiring. I believe these companies were quite possibly white-owned or in ethnically white areas. Not that those issues should make any difference, but don't you think the results would be opposite if it was a black HR professional, black owned business or in an ethnically black area?
Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Cuz, you know, black parents want to give their kids the least chance of getting out from under the burden of racism as is possible. That's just how they are, right?I’ve often wondered why dark ’parents’ would curse their children for life by giving them a ‘dark name’ in a racist white nation. Why go with Humberto and JaQuan when they could have gone with Harry and Jason?
Do they want their children to be judged on their name?
So when there was rampant bigotry against Irish or Italian folks they should have changed their. Names to Smith?I’ve often wondered why dark ’parents’ would curse their children for life by giving them a ‘dark name’ in a racist white nation. Why go with Humberto and JaQuan when they could have gone with Harry and Jason?

Quick question. Are you trolling or are you serious?I’ve often wondered why dark ’parents’ would curse their children for life by giving them a ‘dark name’ in a racist white nation. Why go with Humberto and JaQuan when they could have gone with Harry and Jason?
Do they want their children to be judged on their name?
No. They should have lobbied government for laws to force everyone to like them.So when there was rampant bigotry against Irish or Italian folks they should have changed their. Names to Smith?
LOLI don't think you get to whine about liberals crying "racist" if you actually are a racist.
So when there was rampant bigotry against Irish or Italian folks they should have changed their. Names to Smith?
Good to know
Why do you suppose Asian immigrants change their names to something more ‘American’?Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Cuz, you know, black parents want to give their kids the least chance of getting out from under the burden of racism as is possible. That's just how they are, right?
You mean who are superior?Well I guess the auto parts place wanted people who know a bit more about cars than rims.
