We are talking about academic studies, not how I would personally act.
You are asserting that the signal from race/gender is very noisy and the signal from the resume is very precise.
We can debate the precision of the signal from the resume, but race at least is highly predictive of many objective qualities, e.g. it is highly correlated with IQ. So what you call a vague, dubious, and unquantified signal is actually a highly informative signal.
