HelpRe: African American Names ..
in reply to a message by RB Constance
A most popular names list with the nonblack babies excluded, and of course they look a lot like the list for everyone.
The NYC "most ethnically specific" name lists (from the analysis I linked Rox to) are mainly interesting because of how they reveal that "race" categories applied to all baby names, are not very useful for divining anything about how non-immigrant Americans use names differentially by race. Every category includes multiple cultural identities.
