Racism implies an opinion of superiority based on race. We both filter based on race because of a systemic issue that overwhelming relies on Indian nationals, not a racial issue. I have no problem with indian recruiters from know good companies. If it were racism that wouldn’t be the case. Using the “slippery slope” as some sort of moral justification to it is just a logical fallacy. Do whatever makes you feel better about it though I guess.

No. You moved the goal post such that your actions aren’t included. The rest of your post is based on this false premise, minimization, and projection.
a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
You are talking about prejudice. It’s not the same as racism even though SOME prejudice is based in racism. I have a prejudice based on anecdotal experiences that causes me to avoid Indian names for recruiting unless they are attached to a company I am familiar with and consider a good company.
That’s got nothing to do with any beliefs about their race and everything to do with believing that companies seeking to abuse me have a pattern of hiring Indians.
All that said, you mentioned you are Indian. If you feel this is racist still, then I’m sorry because I really don’t intend that. I truly have no ill will to you, or any others of your race, but whether that’s perceived or not may be a failing on my part somehow whether through poor wording or not being able to see your point of view enough to satisfy you. So i am sorry if this sounded racist. I won’t qualify or equivocate anything further since I’ve endeavored to explain myself to the best of my ability.
I think this wouldn’t be a racism though. This would be prejudicialism.
People with typically non-english sounding names have in the past called with job offers that have nothing to do with your skill set because they’re not paying attention to your actual resume. Because of those past actions you are preventing any future actions by default.
It has nothing to do with their race, and everything to do with pattern recognition, which is prejudice.
The worst possible outcome out of this are that the person doing it misses out on a great job opportunity.

No, racism is judging someone purely from an aspect of their race. Like say, ignoring calls from people with Indian sounding names.

I didn’t move any goal posts.

This is why nothing ever changes.
I’m not moderate at all. I’m far left in most opinions. But if you want to be dismissive then w/e.
Human psyche mandates we all believe we’re above average. Best of luck, white moderate.
Lol, ok. Whatever dude.
