It's just yet one more form of discrimination based on one (or more) stereotypes.

  Isn't all hiring based on stereotypes? e.g the "ninja" programmer?

    Hmm, maybe you and I have a different definition of 'ninja programmer'.. I, and my coworkers, define it as someone the is highly skilled and is able to get in and get the job done quickly and effectively. I don't see how you can stereotype based on a skill, ignoring physical qualities of the people with the skill. Maybe we're just naïve.

      And how do you determine this in an interview?
