I've had several bosses tell me that the moment they see a stereotypical African American name they throw out the application/resume.

Honestly that works for human recruiters too.

I have a very "Caucasian" name. For years, I had some serious confused faces during interviews, people who thought I was a great applicant on paper but then cut the meeting short because I suddenly "dont fit the culture".

I now include my photo in my application. Saves me time too, because I don't want to work at a racist ass company.
