Is it wrong for a person to homogenize their race to help get a job?

On NPR’s “The Takeaway” a black woman had her very ethnic last name legally changed to a homogeneous “white” sounding name (Murphy) claiming that despite her qualifications she was unable to get a first interview for a job because of her last name. Is it really necessary for her to do this? Is it right for her to do this? What does this say to other black people?
