<p>Regarding Ellis Island, some may want to check this. [Genealogy.com:</a> They Changed Our Name at Ellis Island](<a href=“http://www.genealogy.com/88_donna.html]Genealogy.com:”>Immigrant Names and Name Changes at Ellis Island - Genealogy.com) My own relatives came across with a funky spelling conversion from the Cyrillic alphabet and simplified it here, somewhere. How do folks presume xenophobia from a name change? That’s so extreme.</p>
<p>Likewise, the issue with the OP was the blatant (racist?) certainty this anti-Asian racism exists among whites, all whites, all the time, all over the US. That one’s diffculties can always be blamed on the next guy. It not only presumes that wall of bias exists, but that no hiring managers are anything except whitebread, narrow minded, and seeking conformity. But, he also points to his own successful internship(s.)</p>
<p>I know racism still exists. As a small sample, every thread that touches on the subject has posts that betray preconceived notions about others. Oddly, it strikes me right now that the issues on CC usually swirl around bias against Asiants and how Blacks and Hispanics are bumped into top level colleges by quotas. omg. </p>
<p>Think about it: complaints Asians don’t get the opportunities they “deserve” and that Blacks and Hispanics get opportunities they *don’t * deserve.</p>
