Yes, I believe racism, sexism, ageism, and a number of other isms in the job market are real. It's not a job market issue. It's a human being issue. As long as your resume has to get past a human then you're going to have all of those biases to contend with.
- wpietri 13y agoHuman being issues get solved through discussion and examination. Including self-examination. By ragequitting after the first paragraph, you're cheating yourself. However, this is a specifically a job market issue because as a society we have committed to making hiring reasonably fair. Also, these biases are not immutable; they change over time. For example, there was a strong anti-Irish bias in the 19th century in the US and England. So I think your "humans are flawed so shut up about injustice" routine is neither correct nor helpful.
