The name change racism one really doesn't surprise me. I still get asked to spell my first name and there's always a look of surprise when they realise it's a fairly typical "white" name. And people still do double takes when it's me who stands up to them calling "white name" into a waiting room.

On JustEat, my new resolution is to use them as little as possible. I'll brave using the phone because I disapprove of their. "service charge". They're going to make even more money from it because it applies to all orders not just card ones.

I'm still loving the Antarctic photos one.

The proper thing to do is e.g. anonymise names on CVs so people make at least the initial decision based purely on qualifications and expertise, not whether the name sounds like the sort of people you already work with. I don't know how widespread a practice this is yet.
