Acting based on stereotypes of what someone who's born in a country may more or may not be is not only unethical, but stupid.
Look, I'm not saying citizenship or where you live shouldn't be a factor at all, I'm saying they should be near the bottom. In essence, the questions should be more "what have you done, what do you want to do, how will immigrating here help advance society?" and less "which country were you born in? how much money can you contribute?" which seems to be the way things work now.
