I dunno - Peaches and Tonda are questionable. But Serge - just makes ya think White Russian - oh wait, that's a drink. Yeah, Serge makes me think about wanting to have a drink. No....that's not right either. lol
In the area where I live it's more like Juanita, Jorge, Jose, Juan... and when my mom was out looking for a part-time job recently it was all those J-names that got hired instead. Apparently in California it's bad if your name is Barbara.
Unfortunately discrimination is still alive and well and living in the US today. In fact I hear - it's alive around the world. *sarcasm* It's an unfortunate fact of life. Whether you are in an area that is discriminate against black, white, hispanic, asian or whatever - the majority still wins out over the minority. I guess that's why I like the net. You can work here for years without people knowing what color your skin is - you're more judged on your words, your acts, your business practices and your community contributions. Too bad we can't all wear color-blind glasses in the "real world" and greet people based on their deeds all the time.
