Students with funny names, hard to pronounce, names that sound "weak" ie Bunny, overtly foreign Martinez (forget the fact his family lived in California for 400 years and he doesn't even speak Spanish), or weird names like Moonbeam, all get lower grades, also names other than S names that are toward the end of the alphabet.

It's as if we seek conformity and take comfort in the status quo.
