I think that Jussim's point (made it about halfway through his book-length argument on this so far) is that the effects are generally real but quite small.
It still seems to me to leave open the option for something akin to the "death by a thousand cuts"
The article he linked to seems to pull literally all of its conclusions from this book, which is written by the author of the article: https://www.amazon.com/Social-Perception-Reality-Dominates-Self-Fulfilling/dp/0195366603
The book itself seems to say it disproves "highly cited darlings" of the psychology world concerning bias. A quick Google search of the author Lee Jussim brings up a bunch of his articles where it quickly becomes apparent that the dude is a far-right nutjob and a Google Scholar search pretty quickly shows that he is obsessed with proving the idea that stereotypes are accurate and are the reason liberalism exists. Which, somewhat ironically, taints his commentary and research with clear and extreme bias.
