- lucaspiller 11y agoI live in a Middle Eastern country, and as I understand in East Asia it is pretty much the same: People here very much discriminate against candidates based upon race and where they were educated. I would go so far as saying a Western candidate, fresh from completing their course from a Western university would be chosen over an Indian candidate with a similar level degree from an Indian university and 5 years experience. There isn't much you can do to change your race, so a lot of people opt to get fake degrees from 'Western sounding' universities. The show they have setup is pretty tight, you can even phone up to 'verify' that they were in-fact a student. (Just to clarify I'm a Westerner with a Western degree so this isn't jealously or anything like that)
