    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.

    racism

    noun

    Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

      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.
