Racism implies an opinion of superiority based on race.
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.

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.
