As I said: they _literally_ said, "There are too many Chinese and Indians" in the Bay Area. That's a no go.

That is not the same as having subjective internal biases about an African American candidate.

They seem the same to me?

You are saying you wouldn’t hire them because they wouldn’t fit into your work culture right?

Or are you saying you wouldn’t hire them because you don’t like their beliefs?

Those two things are not the same.

One is a statement made by a candidate that is at best insensitive to people of different races.

The other is a poorly specified scenario where a black person does not fit in? For what reason do they not fit in? Is it because of their race or something else.

It sounds like the parent thought the dev wouldn’t fit in with the other team members and so didn’t hire him.

It’s hard to fit in when you are a small minority.
