Here in Thailand, I regularly get resume's with photo's on them.
I don't request them but they come that way anyway.
If I was brutally honest, I'd have to say that yeah - there's a few that got stuck in the bin 'cause they were fkin huge and a few that got interviews because they were unqualified but cute and I thought it would be a pleasant diversion.
Fact is, when it comes down to it, you can reject any applicant. No-one will really know why you rejected them but even in the USA, where "all men are equal", people will get rejected because of looks/weight/race.
You can only apply the veneer, the appearance of forcing people to select employees without considering their appearance. You can't really stop it happening.
