Mom-to-be asks if she's wrong for avoiding 'black' baby names to make son's life easier.

Racism is so embedded in American systems that even having a name considered "black" can affect your job prospects. It's an awful bias to look in the face, but those affected by it don't have the privilege of ignoring it.

This racially charged name bias can present a deeply complicated decision for parents of black children. Do they strategically pick a name that will hit the top of resume piles to set their kid up for success? Or do you stick to your cultural convictions, all bigots be damned?

In a recent post on the Am I The *sshole subreddit, a black mother-to-be shared how she doesn't want to give her son a "black name" because she's afraid it'll make his life harder.

"AITA for shutting down "black" names because I think it'll make life harder on my kids?"
