If your only defense is holes in my completely made up scenerio and not the actual point I'm making (that profiling makes logical sense when it's based on real numbers) then this is a pointless discussion.
You're illustrating an unfair hiring practice. Stats also say men are more likely to beat up women than women beating up men. Does that mean any male applicant should get a criminal check, but females don't have to? You either require all do show proof of a diploma, or you require none.

And since what you're highlighting is basically the definition of discrimination, then to answer your question, yes, it most certainly is a racist practice.
