("Americans know instinctively that “Cassius Green” is more likely to be black than white * * * The southern accent scored between the two [white accent and black accent] on most of the rankings. Sounding southern and white costs you a bit; sounding black costs a lot. * * * The British discriminate on the basis of class and region more than race")
