People who place photos on a resume are not a protected class. Perhaps it is a bit unusual to automatically exclude those applicants, but it is _not_ discrimination (as defined by the law).

People who ride their bike to work aren't a protected class, yet I've been informed it's not okay to ask a candidate how their commute was.

I really don't want anything to do with the recruiting and hiring process.

That sounds crazy. How is it not okay to ask about the commute?

Yeah I've never heard this. Frankly, it gives relevant info about how willing the candidate is to endure the commute. Plus, it's polite conversation. Also, bicyclists aren't a protected class.
