I think racial/socioeconomic traits aren't the kind of thing this author was referring to by "labels." But even so, are you confident someone w/a "black" name would have an harder time getting a job than someone with a reputation as "racist"? That does not seem obvious.

I'm sure that if liberals did actually set up some weird racist certification scheme that reached a reasonable scale that the labor consequences of being on it would be higher than having a black-sounding-name

I realize you’re being snarky here...but do the thought experiment: if you were labeled a racist, and a lot of ppl believed it, would you really feel unconcerned about the effect on your reputation and job prospects?

Replying to @mattyglesias @juliagalef and
Are you arguing that being called a racist would have no effect on someone's job prospects? Because I think you and your colleagues likely wouldn't hire them. That is clearly the effect. I also disagree that it'd be a good career choice for anybody. This all seems disingenuous.

Hardly positive if your original career is no longer open to you, and your only option is right-wing talk shows...
