Linguistic Profiling and Continuing Discrimination The fact that speakers of non-mainstream dialects, from those varieties that are classified by a culture as "non-standard" to those that vary only by accent, are stereotyped in various ways seems obvious enough to be considered a truism.
Linguistic Profiling Names aren't the only potential cues to a person's racial identity: speech may also reveal--or conceal--ethnicity.
Perhaps, especially when you consider that there have been lawsuits brought because of applicant photos (alleging that landlords knew what people looked like) and that there are currently pending lawsuits on linguistic profiling (alleging that the landlords knew the person was black because of how he/she sounded on the phone).
