I didnt want to touch that Australian story but since it is brought up opens up the wounds. A south Indian company rejected me after the interview (in fact I was told at the end interview itself) just because I was from North. You may ask why was I called in then...I was given to understand until then they didnt have any suitable candidate from the South..the position was for Heading a group for Asia Pacific region. What I intend to say, we Indians atleast should not cry foul at racism and all such nonsense when we are the biggest racists right in our home. How many people from one state in India here in Qatar have friends from other state people. Isnt it that we carry that baggage of discrimination whereever we go but cry foul when others do it. How many people from Tamilnadu would allow a North Indian to share the place (flat)with them if they so require?
End of the day, I still maintain that I dont see an issue in a company stating what exactly they are looking for be it nationality, age, sex etc etc if we are also stating that rubbish, whom you don't need, quitely without stating so...hypocrisy, right.
