    Well I actually laughed aloud at this on the train. I’m pretty much generic white looking, but have wondered if my resume ever got treated differently for the very Italian last name.

      I have a very Italian full name and definitely got treated differently when I was younger. Growing up in a rural area, many of my teachers would ask me to translate Spanish for them. Oh boy.

        Grew up east coast city, so never got that stuff. Not to my face anyway. Had one or two grade school teachers who were awful towards the south american and asian kids who didn’t speak any english.
