Sour grapes, more like. If simply asking how they'd work with people from diverse backgrounds was triggering enough for this person, the process worked perfectly in rejecting them.

That wasn't the question... It was, if I was an HR director, what would I do in different situations.

I could be very wrong and am no HR expert, but I don’t think that question was actually about what would happen if you were an HR director. They wanted your thoughts on those situations in regards to the position you were apply for.

Right. I just thought it was funny they asked that and less technical questions, or better real-world questions.

It wasn't "triggering" or anything! I happy gave my opinion and moved on to the other questions.
