Apply and got a response in reasonable time. I knew the topic well. The manager was international, experienced (~15yrs), been working in Eindhoven engg scene for a long time. The job application was for a technical position, because I liked the topic. I was asked technical questions and that went fine. Then the manager decided to investigate how I intend to use the position and grow beyond that - whether I want to get a management position quickly. I replied "no, I'm not sure yet, I applied for the technical position". Then the manager looked at me, and asked plain if I'm ambitious because [people from a certain middle eastern country] are ambitious and want managerial roles soon. I told them I'm not from that middle eastern country. The manager assumed from my looks I'm from a "certain ME country" and that "how ambitious I am". This is a racist assumption. I'm not even from ME! I decided to not join ASML.
