Raven Symone claims she will never hire anyone baring 'ghetto names' . Do you agree?

Raven-Symone insists she won't be labelled

Raven-Symone has done it again!

'The View' host, and former star of the Disney Channel's 'That's So Raven' spoke out during the table's discussion about a new study that reveals Americans make racist assumptions about people based on their names. The program showed a video about the "60 most ghetto names," and Symone voiced her opinions.

“Just to bring it back, can we take back ‘racist’ and say ‘discriminatory,’ because I think that’s a better word,” Symoné said during the show. "And I am very discriminatory against words like the ones that they were saying in the video. I’m not about to hire you if your name is Watermelondrea. It’s just not going to happen. I’m not going to hire you."

The co-hosts of 'The View' have had their fair share of controversy in 2015 alone and Raven has been at the centre of some of them like the one time in March that she agreed with a Latino TV host - Rodner Figueroa - who said Michelle Obama looked like a character in the "Planet of Apes" on television.

Well, here are some Twitter reactions to raven's latest comments about 'Ghetto Names' on The View:
