People think I'm paranoid for having my EDC within arms reach at all times. I'd rather be called paranoid than dead.

I dont think poor Quintavious had much of a choice.... How many hiring managers will call back an application with that name on it?! Additionally, it would be hard to fit it on a nametag.

Parents should give their kid a chance to succeed, not starting life with an obstacle.

"[researchers] sent nearly 5,000 CVs in response to job advertisements in Chicago and Boston newspapers. The CVs were the same, but half were given fake names that sounded like they belonged to white people, like Emily Walsh or Greg Baker, and the other half were given names that sounded African American, like Lakisha Washington or Jamal Jones. The call-back rate from employers was 50% higher on the "white" names then the "black" names. " - from an interesting read: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26634477

There's a whole chapter in one of the Freakanomics books about this.

I wonder how many kids, with sense, change their names when they get older.

I think the ones that are smart enough to know how damaging the names are, can probably overcome the problems with their name.
