"Job seekers with black sounding names get interviewed less."
If a hiring company makes decisions based on unsound heuristics, others that do not make that mistake will outcompete them. The problem is self-correcting in the long run, if it's allowed to be.
So now we're completely away from the "race / competence non-correlation", and onto the "judge each person on his/her own merits" bromide. I'm 100% with you there. I also like motherhood and apple pie.

No.
Thank you for having children, and presumably propagating your common sense.

Where there's a will, there's a relative.
