There is no such thing as systematic discrimination.

https://www.thestar.com/news/immigration/2016/03/17/jobseekers-resort-to-resum-whitening-to-get-a-foot-in-the-door-study-shows.html

So the overal callback rate was 16.7% but whitened black resumes has a 25.5% callback rate and whitened Asian resumes have 21%? So the results are even higher than the average? So whitened ethnic resumes get more callback than the average resume, which would be a "white" resume? How does that work? Especially when they cannot hide the Asian ethnicity with the surname?

And on top of that, the ethnic resumes show political involvements whereas the whitened ones show charities?

Seems like they had a result in mind and worked towards it. But it still could not hide that western Asians have a higher callback rate than whites.
