The data is incredibly easy to find and has been demonstrated for decades. It's an easy experiment: two identical candidates, one of them with an ethnic name (or actor) and one of them is white. It also consistently shows that white candidates do better than black candidates, despite having identical resumes.

This has been shown across society, including applications for housing, police stops, punishments in school, etc. I don't know why employment would be the one exception.
