Sure, they’re connected. You give me a formula for simply rid racist thought from all human minds and I’ll concede you have a point here. Until then, I’m gonna keep operating on the fact that racist thought manifests differently in different areas of society and that they require unique solutions. In the area of discrimination in hiring practices, resumes absolutely are a contributing factor.
You’re not going to get me to simplify my thinking on this enormously complex issue by pointing to the abstract notion of “people are fucking racist!” You can’t address that directly. You have to take the more pragmatic approach of addressing the concrete elements in society that you can actually change. In fact, if you’d studied any actual literature on the topic, you’d know this already, because all the academics agree with what I just wrote.
