His main finding: blacks who “sound black” earn salaries that are 10 percent lower than blacks who do not “sound black,” even after controlling for measures of intelligence, experience in the work force, and other factors that influence how much people earn. (For what it is worth, whites who “sound black” earn 6 percent lower than other whites.)
I believe there is a causal effect of speech on salary and I’m not surprised. America is still incredibly intolerant, whether people “sound black”, or speak with an asian accent, it doesn’t matter, people still hate.
