I’m really not trying to fight and I conceded your point, I was just clarifying.

I think the context of the article is a little bit baity if not disingenuous, because it sets up a situation where something other than professional processes are being used for screening- I was only pointing out that if the language identified was in fact part of real applications/resumes/cover letters that without a racial connotation it could still be considered lazy. If you can’t take the time to present yourself professionally on a professional document, then what will your work performance be? I’d have that critique for any unprofessional vernacular regardless of source/race/etc.

If instead the context is just social media screening, then it’s kind of a different issue isn’t it- one I pointed out previously. I think white kid gamer slang taken from a discord session might get similar low marks, but why are we using that for job screening?
