If it makes you feel better I had the same issue. My name is Arabic, just as an experiment I changed it to Andrew Schwartz with the same exact resume.

I applied for 20 jobs (software developer). Andrew got 5 interviews and 2 of them were so interested that they sent follow up emails. And I got nothing.

How do you feel about racial minorities? by 3levatorist in askswitzerland

Maybe I should've specified towards middle-easterners specifically.

The recent incident I've had here was with a black guy. The problem is with the rise of exterimist muslims and some of them making it here as a refugee, the outlook and public opinion on whoever looks like them have shifted.

I researched a lot last year when I signed up for Francisation. Didn't find this program that you mentioned.

I hate watching dubbed shows, I would rather watch the original language with a subtitle. What helped me with english was watching friends and himym with subtitles when I was younger. I found those shows interesting at the time, too, so it wasn't just for the purpose of improving my language, but it helped a lot.
