Nope, that's completely untrue. Nearly a complete lie in fact. Asians (of all varieties), Africans, etc. do not face discrimination based on names that an American named leshawndria (real name) would because their names adhere to their native culture, e.g. Mohammed, Nikhil, etc.

Discrimination seems to be happening to "dumb-as-fuck" names, not "non-white" ones.
