This guy is named Josephine, which is a problematic name for a man.

I've said for a long time that this type of naming makes it EASY for employers who want to discriminate, to do so. "Josephine Hammond" is race-neutral. "ShaNeNe Janiquah" is obviously of a certain race. They'll never have her in for an interview, then will be able to say they had no minority applicants to interview.

I think even in African American circles "Josephine" is a woman's name. ;-)
