A man called Jamaal Allan has revealed how his name has led to him being racially stereotyped（歸類） throughout his life.
   Jamaal，a high school teacher who grew up in southern Oregon of the USA，revealed that most people he meets are always surprised when they discover he's white.He said that one of the most common responses to his name is "I never would've guessed your name was Jamaal".In a blog post he aired his thoughts on this，writing： "Really，are you frequently good at guessing people's names？" Another reaction to his name，he said，is '"you don't look like a Jamaal"，to which he asked in response， "And how exactly does one look like a name？"
   He wrote in the blog that some people，after meeting him，say "I thought you'd be…" and then pause with "a sudden realization they are on the verge of sounding racist"，before finding a word such as "tailed or "older" to end the sentence with.
   And his name once appeared to get him selected for a random security check on a trip to London in 2002，as the others picked out by officials were called Muhammad，Abdul and Tariq.He also explained that waitresses and waiters usually hand his credit card back to a black person at his table when he's dining out.
   His name，which means "beauty" in Arabic，landed him his teaching job in Iowa，though.Jamaal said，"The principal who had hired me admitted that I was lucky to have gotten the job.They had not been planning to take another student-teacher when my application showed up.But，as they scanned through it and saw a Jamaal who plays basketball and counts Muhammad Ali among his heroes，they thought they 'could use a little diversity，'" said Jamaal.
   Jamaal's dad was a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and he was just named after one of their players，Jamaal Wilkes.
