The Australian model complains of discrimination because it seems very attractive

Maria Thattil is an influencer and fashion blogger from Melbourne who was crowned Miss Universe Australia this year last month. But besides having more than 65,000 followers in the Instagram, she also has a basic degree in psychology and a master in human resources, and now she is working to earn talent to run for the government.

She talked about news.com.au about the prejudice people had against her because of her beautiful appearance, both during her studies and her professional life.

They also told me in practice, when I was just starting my career, that I should be extremely good with people, because I'm pretty so they'll assume I'm solid because of this. Indeed, an elderly woman told me this and was very discouraging”, she said.

The 27-year-old also recalls a manager who had commented on the amount of composition she was wearing, but also commenting on how she cares about her clothes.

She also remembered when a recruit told her that she probably got the job just because male employers liked what she looked like even though she talked to her about work, over the phone.

Mary said that while it is human nature to have prejudice based on physical characteristics, she wants all to know that it is not known by the perception of others.
