I was thinking about this recently during a wokie rant about how black names are hired way less - but in all of the examples that were cited, it was always comparing fairly normal/strong "white names" to the most r-slurred "black" names possible.
I never saw any examples of Cleetus or Bubba being looked or other white-trash names.

I've literally never seen or heard of someone being named Cleetus or Bubba in my entire life, and any that exist are 90 years old.
The vast majority of white names are normal, and the ones that aren't are weird middle class suburban misspellings.
Whereas black names are 75/25 between a normal white name a literal gibberish

Black people had the same names as whites until not that long ago and the whole black name thing came from the idpol of the 60s where they attempted to give themselves African sounding names despite not actually knowing a thing about Africa which is why black people all have those weird sci-fi names nowadays

Here's an article i found criticizing the way names are chosen for these studies due to the names having a much stronger social status link than racial link.

It goes on to a professor that determined these names that are strongly associated with race are even more strongly associated with poverty and low education so the studies are deeply flawed.

Not even going to open the link but the professor sounds r-slurred if he doesnβt think a study design can survive mild multicolinearity between race and class when determining hire rates, especially when this is partially-accounted for since social class and resume content are obviously codependent.

He was criticizing what the studies did, not what they are capable of. Maybe click the link next time

If the study design is fine but the outcome is flawed, you can make the nuanced argument instead of relying on some r-slur still in public education.

Within the black community those names are still only used by poor uneducated mothers. Rich educated black women tend not to name their kids DaShawn just like rich white women aren't having any children named khalisi or katniss or snape.

Stephen Levitt did. Most people who love leveragd the name study hate him for challenging the orthodoxy on that and other topics though:

TBH giving a child a name that can literally only disadvantage him in the long run in favor of muh culture is proof that mothers dont really care about thier children. "Nooo I just want to set my child up for a lifetime of hardship because that'll show those dang rightoids"

Those names would probably get positive bias since they are almost certainly mayos and going to be hard working dependable employees.

Someone linked something like that in the slatestatcodex culture war discussion a long time ago and they basically found what you suspect, itβs more about class than about race (the study everyone cites sort of accidentally used classy white names and trashy black names) but when you compare classy white to classy black, or trashy white to trashy black, the race differences largely go away, and the effect is all about classy vs trashy.
Iβve tried to find it since then and havenβt been able to. I think it wasnβt published as an academic paper but rather something some dude did on his blog and wrote about.
