> yeah FAANGs suck at looking at you as a person […] almost no interviewer ever looks at your resume

I feel like I’m missing your point here... you are correct - when I’m doing a coding interview, I don’t care if you’re black or white, male or female, university educated or self-taught, the only thing I care about is whether or not you can code[1]. You seem to be suggesting that that’s a bad thing?

[1] Of course any major red flags like muttering racist curses when you get frustrated would also be noted; it’s not like I ignore the human side of things, I’m just not actively looking for that~

Perhaps one's body of work and experience might be just as relevant as one's ability to work out a set of programming drills in a short time.
what's funny is that YOU are missing the point
