had an interview today for a job I really wanted. It's for a very professional role, one where I will work with vulnerable people from all different backgrounds.
I was asked for a time when I worked with someone challenging in the office.
I discussed someone who would very openly state their opinions on people. Whether it was insulting their clothes,hair or work performance. She was very very blunt and honest. This caused conflict in the team as people were angry and offended with her and complained.
So I discussed with her what was appropriate for the work place blah blah (insert good I interview standard answer here )
When the interviewer told me that that was a very interesting example and what was the end result I said that she did learn not to be too personal but that she is still very honest but to be fair, she's Nigerian, and that's what Niegerians are like'.

Absolute stunned silence from the panel!
I won't get the job. No chance.
The rest of the interview was a blur. I honestly want to curl up and die. I get so nervous in interviews and end up saying something really stupid, but this is the worst.
AIBU to say I'm not getting the job.

I've just be overtly racist in a job interview. I'm not getting the job am I
