Obama: If You Send in Your Resume and ‘Your Name’s Jamal, You Might Not’ Get Called Back
‘If your name is John, you might get called back’
EXCERPT:
OBAMA: "And I think that this is a process that we're all going through and we're all learning. And something that I've always admired about you, Joe, is, you know, your willingness to listen and learn. It is a sign of leadership when you are willing to hear other people's experiences. It has to do with communities that have systematically been underinvested in. It has to do with hiring and the fact that if you get on the phone, applying for a job, send in your resume, if your name is John, you might called back; if your name is Jamal, you might not."
