“…Given that those authors found that a Mexican-Spanish accent negatively affected employment decisions, we expect similar negative responses to African-sounding or unusual names. As Carbado and Gulati (2003) state, "Whiteness functions as the identity against which all other identities are measured" (p. 1777).…”

“…From this perspective, race and racism are endemic, and inextricably interwoven into the fabric of American society. Finally, it claims that racism cannot be fought without paying attention to sexism, homophobia, and other forms of injustice (Carbado and Gulati, 2003). CRT is committed to social justice and the eradication of racism by promoting the experiences of women and people of color.…”

“…Carbado and Gulati (2003) point out that, "[t]he literature has paid little attention to the workplace as a site of racial construction. In part, this is because much of CRT's effort to combat racial discrimination in the workplace has focused on eliminating formal and informal racial barriers to entry" (p. 1759).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the hypothesis that Whiteness is used as a normative standard when comparing a variety of first names. Design/methodology/approach -Respondents (full-and part-time business students) evaluated names that sounded common, African-American, Russian, and unusual. Findings -Results from two studies suggest that "common" or "neutral" names are perceived to be white, and to be more American than African-American, Russian or unusual-sounding names. Results also demonstrate that the common names have more positive attributes, including socio-economic class.Research limitations/implications -The study found that the basic comparison of American respondents will be to a white person. Second, the authors applied Critical Race Theory (CRT) to the research on names. Finally, the authors demonstrate that unless they are totally anonymous, virtual teams will still have the type of social categorization and stereotyping of team members found in ordinary teams. Practical implications -Organizations and managers need to recognize that a "colorblind" approach simply reinforces the expectation that any differences in American organizations will be compared against the Whiteness standard. This can be a problem in any organizational setting, especially given the proliferation of virtual teams. This may be addressed with attempts to increase common in-group identity and strategies for identifying bias. Originality/value -In this research the authors integrate concepts and theory from Virtual Teams, CRT and the Psychology of Names, providing both theoretical and practical implications.

“…The book of essays, edited by critical race scholars Francisco Valdes, Jerome McCristal Culp, and Angela Harris, generated a stream of thoughtful commentary about the challenges facing critical race theory. Critical Race Realism: Intersections of Psychology, Race, and Law builds on a theme of this commentary: Critical race theory would benefit from greater attention to other disciplines, particularly sociology and psychology, but also economics and organizational behavior (Carbado & Gulati 2003; Moran 2003).…”
