> You are essentially pre-selecting for people that share your cultural background. I don't think that creating a decent (not perfect!) document means that they match my cultural background and I honestly don't consider it racist, in any way. I don't see any reason on why literally the only document that has a stake in saying whether you continue with some interviews or not should look bad or contain obvious mistakes. It's like if you were giving away business cards with your name spelled wrong, with a wrong phone number or with a yellow text on a red / orange background. I've seen some CVs with rather obvious mistakes (e.g: mispelled technology names, Comic Sans MS, 180deg rotated profile picture, spelling mistakes in their native language, issues with dates and so on...). I really think that if you care about applying for a job, the bare minimum you should do is to spend some time to re-read your CV (at least once) or ask your friends for suggestions.
