Question

Tyrone is frustrated by having submitted dozens of resumes to tech companies around the pacific northwest, resulting in zero job interviews. he decides to try submitting three resumes as "tyler," and receives two calls from prospective employers. what is this an example of?

Answer 1

This is an example of bias and discrimination in employment. The only thing that Tyrone changes about his resume is his first name. Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that something about his name impacted the potential employers decision not to contact Tyrone. As Tyrone may be perceived as a black male's name, this could be racial discrimination.
