My engineering graduate student from India had the family name, Mohammed. He is in the top of his software engineering class but couldn’t get an internship although all his Indian classmates did. I suggested that he only put his first and middle name on his resume. Within a week he was getting all kinds of calls. This is a person who spends his weekends feeding the homeless at a church! I find this incredibly discouraging when we see this amount of prejudice still existing even in very “diverse” communities.
