A St. Louis woman on the job hunt recently screenshot her response from a potential employer who deemed her name too “ghetto” for hire.
Hermeisha Robinson posted the image of the email she received from an employee with Mantality Health to her Facebook account on Monday. After applying for a customer service representative position, she was “hurt”’ to read the company’s reply.
“Unfortunately, we do not consider candidates that have suggestive ghetto names.”
“My feelings are very hurt and they even got me second guessing my name, trying to figure out if my name is really that ‘ghetto,’” Robinson wrote in the post.
