I was interviewed by a racist from balyasny

Wallstreet oasis deleted my old post without first reaching out to me.  Here’s my original post: 

I was interviewed by a racist who is the global head of credit quantitative research.  His name is *** khan.  He had a big problem with me breaking into his team (I'm a Hindu) and he was visibly angry at the "welcome to the team meeting" whereby he started interrogating how I got a visa in USA.  My offer was revoked when I tried to explain to him that this wasn't an interview and how is this related to the job at hand?  

I was very confused as 3 days prior to the welcome, a team member from credit technology called me and convinced me to join his team via LinkedIn.  I quit my job and rejected two other offers.  In the meeting he was extremely aggressive against me and I didn't like his vibe one bit.  I answered all his easy technical questions and the offer was revoked.  A month later I noticed that another Muslim guy got the same job for the role that was supposed to be mine.  Beware at how racist the interview process is.  I've never been subjected to such a hateful interview.  I got a new job now, but for 3months this left me in a very very bad spot.  
 

you can easily find him on LinkedIn
