Racial Microaggression
- Having a non-white name that is hard to pronounce or remember can negatively impact our chances of employment in many western countries, and the screening starts at the resume itself.
- Mispronunciation of a name also results in an ‘internal cringe’ when it is heard by the namesake, resulting in needless doubt and uncertainty professionally.
- Even kids with names being mispronounced get affected emotionally, and score lower than others.
