Let's not have a "my area is more tolerant than yours" devolution. There's been consideration quite recently in Germany, for example, that maybe it's not such a great idea that people need to put their photograph on their resumes, given hiring managers' tendencies to hire traditionally German-looking males over other races/sexes.
