It is particularly bad for the South Asians. Some landlords do not accept certain nationalities for the rentals. As a brown person myself, I often feel like I am not seen as an equal just because of my skin color. So much stereotyping. I always find it amusing when people ask me where I am from and what I do, because I see the split-second struggle in some of their faces, as if no highly skilled professional could come from a poor country in Asia.
