No the issues are more like if you send a resume in with an African American name or photo it is way less likely to be called for an interview than the same resume with a whiter name. Same for male/female etc. Even house appraisals and “call the cops or offer to help” as subject to the same, present day, biases.

Or are you doing what a lot of people do, using these narrow issues as a wedge to do exactly what I'm talking about and people are tired of?
