Thread 33918841

I am a black American woman. My last name, when researched shows it is 80% black American. I have a Bachelors and 8 years of work experience in my field, including 1 successful prestigious internship, but have been unemployed since April 2025. I was a senior grossing $110k a year.

Someone I know is Jewish, His last name is clearly Jewish, and when researched is 100% Jewish. He has a high school diploma and 5 years of experience in his field. He is not a senior in his field. I do not know his income.

During dinner, he told us he was considering crossing into my field and taking a senior role (which he has 0 experience in). He said he already has 3 interviews lined up in my field. He was laughing while proudly describing the interview invites.

It sounds ridiculous but its true.

I hope this isn't horrible but I am considering changing my last name to a random Jewish one. I don't understand why they even considered his applications- he has no experience or a degree.

Lets not play pretend, we all know hiring managers do discriminate (the Tesla situation with documented emails as the most popular proof) but less so than they did before.

Has anyone else done this or is my unemployment anxiety getting the best of me? I don't mean to offend I am just becoming upset with myself and the opportunities to interview that he has landed but I have not.

Sounds retarded because it's going to seem extremely weird if a black woman has a jewish name

>>33918842
I was told saying "jewish race" was antisemetic since Jew is a culture and religion. why would it matter if I absorbed a Jewish name if its not a race of people

can't anyone be jewish?

>>33918841 (OP)
they will still discriminate when they find out you are a black woman if they were already going to right? maybe you can get a little further if you just change your last name on your application and see how it goes, but i would rather work for a company who doesnt pull that shit in the first place

whoopi goldberg did this exact thing for this exact reason btw lmao

>>33918859
>whoopi goldberg
are you fucking serious i am just now learning this. it clearly worked too

>>33918841 (OP)
A Jew last name isn't an advantage for regular people. If you were to follow this line of thought, it would indicate that executives are Jews and not lowly hiring managers.

Why not changing your name to Obama?

>>33918854
This is true. One of my former companies hired a black woman and it was fine, until she sperged out and acted like she was too good to be taking orders. Then she got fired and threatened to sue (???). She pretty much ruined it for future hires.

Are you trying to sound smart

>>33918853
They aren't like other religions. Your mother needs to be jewish, you can't just join. Lenny Kravitz is not a jew since his mom was Christian. Unless you pay money, idk. Obviously anyone can call themselves jewish, like the black Hebrews.

I can absolutely guarantee you that his name did not get him a job. His experience and presentation did. You say he has no experience in the field. Well, at management level all industries are pretty much alike, and it is the rule more than the exception that the CEO of, say, an automobile company was previously the VP of, say, a fast food company. Sales is sales, whatever you're selling; marketing is marketing; management is management and so on.

This is factually untrue

>>33918841 (OP)
it doesn't work that way, it's just networking except the jews are masters at that. they don't pick based on name but on nepotism

>>33918841 (OP)
Two things. 1. It worked for whoopi goldberg
2. Go back to Africa

Do you really think WG got her career because people thought she was Jewish?

>>33919205
That's the story. That she started going by goldberg to soak up jewish nepotism. And then she became a famous actress despite having no acting avility, no discernible talent of any kind, and looking like the offspring of Mr. Hanky and Buckwheat. If jewish nepotism didn't get her her career, then I have no idea how the fuck to explain why she ever became famous.

>>33919214
you sound butthurt lmao
so what you're saying is changing her last name worked
because if she was mediocre with a black name she never would have jewish connections
instead shes mediocre with a jewish name, took advantage of those connections, and is now rich as hell

>>33919295
That's literally what I was saying from the getgo, that it worked for whoopi. Whatever smelly pajeet programs you bots sucks because you klankers don't have any discernment or reading comprehension. Or I guess if you're a negro then that would also be true.

Why is millennial black women asking for advice on 4chan? Aunty there’s gotta be better places to inquire?

Are you actually Jewish? Like a follower of Judaism

>>33918841 (OP)
Even Gentiles are allowed to do a little jewing now and then. Go for it. Be like Whoopi Goldberg.
