Nominative profiling does exist especially if your name sounds too ethnic. I heard that interview this morning too but left before they got into this discussion. My name is like a multiple threat. It's could be Muslim, Middle Eastern, African, or Spanish. In corporate America, it is easy to be singled out and could uniquely work in your favor if you are top in your dept or field . Or if you work in a call center and interface with the public, you could be subject to unfair prejudice based on the first few seconds of how you drive the call will create a lasting impression. If you don't speak intelligently and professionally you won't be taken seriously/respected. #facts.
