For the first guy in that article, I don't see what his issue is. With his kind of background, he's going to be applying for Fortune 500, investment banks, etc....and in most of those companies there is a shortage of Black employees. Why hide that you're Black when the HR departments of those companies are actively trying to improve the diversity of their firms?

Also, how are these people dressing for their interview, and what kind of hairstyle are they wearing? I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it was professional, but you never know.
