Job applicants with Asian-sounding names are more likely to get rejected, new study says

Job applicants with Asian-sounding names — e.g. Khan, Chiang and Suzuki — are 28% less likely to get called in for an interview than their Anglo counterparts, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto and Ryerson University.

NPR reports that university researchers based their results on data used in a 2011 American Economic Association study where 12,910 fake resumes were sent to over 3,225 job listings. 

The study found that applicants with westernized first names and Asian last names didn’t do significantly better than those with Asian first and last names. Read more (2/23/17 1:59 PM)

[wordsnquotes]

Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but ‘Mom’s’ probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.

you know what trope pisses me off the most? when the protag is pointing a gun at somebody and they’re like “you won’t do it. you’re too good” and the person holding the gun is like oh shit i am and they slowly lower the gun while the other person laughs. WHAT THE FUCK. if i were there, and somebody told me “you won’t do it” i would immediately shoot them dead without hesitating. who are you to tell me what i wont do. musty bitch

A lot of people have been asking me what I mean by this so lemme rephrase it. You are homophobic unless you are this kid at all times during the day at any place.

Laverne Cox: Bathroom Bills “Criminalize Trans People” And No One Is Talking About It

Because the people don’t actually “feel” like becoming educated on LGB and especially T issues.

Having a gay friend doesn’t mean knowing what it’s like. Child molesters are at your home - statistically. They aren’t LGB and especially not T.

me: haha im so mad that this person hurt me

me inside: reevaluating every single action that happened from the exact beginning of us interacting so that i can in some way blame it on myself because clearly, if someone hurt me, i did something wrong to deserve it
