Try visiting India if you have Pakistani heritage. You will literally be denied a Visa.

My manager was scheduled to go over for a business trip to visit Tata Consultancy Services. However, his heritage is Pakistani, and they refused his Visa, despite him being a UK citizen.

Try visiting numerous middle eastern nations if you have previously visited Israel.

My mother got questioned at Israeli passport control because she'd previously visited Egypt.

Its fine to be judgemental when you live in a developed country with a lot of freedoms but if you actually travel it becomes blindingly apparent that many parts of the world are much more stringent, and not necessarily fair.
