The interviewer is either extremely confused about her own ideology or being deliberately standoffish by invoking strawman after strawman.

She seems to think certain groups of people are entitled to success they haven't earned, because there is some nefarious and ill-defined force oppressing them.

Peterson handled it well and made some great points about the roles of competence, sacrifice and disagreeableness in work success.

She wasn't confused about anything. She was intentionally misrepresenting what he said.
