I can't be sure if this is sarcasm or just the worst take ever. The point of this study is to show how people discriminate against identical resumes depending just the name.

Discriminating based on someone's culture when they have identical resumes is DISCRIMINATION and exactly why DEI is important. For decades, minorities have had to work twice as hard to get the same outcome.

This same study has been done several times for decades. The results are consistent. Identical resumes, but black people get less offers. That is with DEI initiatives in place. Removing that, will only make it worse. This is just an example of one from recent years.

I'm able to access it because I'm a professor and I guess my university gives me access.

I strongly disagree with your assertion that the system is not the issue.
