Hiring bias is alive and well. My cousins, one guy, one girl, are half South Asian and half white, both with a long "ethnic" last name. The girl cousin always had trouble getting a job deserving of her skills until she married a guy with an easy to pronounce non-ethnic name. The guy cousin always got called for tech jobs, despite having a degree in English with no mention of tech on his resume.
