were you interviewing for abercrombie?
Wow. Don't waste your time and money on suing them...let it go and move on. What on earth will you gain by investing all that time and money into suing them because they called you fat and made a racist comment? Assuming you wouldn't want to work there anyway after an interview like that, what would you gain by suing?
Since the location, position, & industry are not provided I can only say it sounds like those are kind of bizarre questions. I can see how you would take it as rude or offensive, especially talking about race & weight, seems very personal. But then again, for the passion question, that's a pretty common line of questioning.
I wouldn't worry about it and I certainly would not obtain counsel, no matter the company or industry the world is a small place. Word can travel quickly that you tried to sue a firm etc...
Treat this as a game, maybe your opponent (interviewer) was trying to see how you would react.
If you don't want the firms money in exchange for your services then seek employment elsewhere & take this as a learning experience.
Wow... Just curious, Was this in NYC?
You really think that was a stressful interview?? My advice: don't interview for S&T

Just because the interviewer wasn't particularly nice to you doesn't mean that everyone at the firm is an asshole
suing them for upsetting you?
I don't know anything about UK law, but in the US they're absolutely allowed to ask. They just aren't allowed to discriminate based on that information.
What would suing them achieve?
Does it get you a job with that firm? No.
Does it get you a job with someone else? Unlikely. These sorts of questions are not illegal once you're got the job. Who wants to hire someone who has gone on the record as litigious about this sort of stuff.
Does it get you money? Nominal damages at best.
Does your matrying your own career raise awareness and help other minorities get jobs? Unlikely. Instead, it just teaches people to keep their stereotypes under their breath.
lol at this being stressful. This is bizarre but definitely not stressful. And if you sued, you would not win. Wait until you get on the job and get cussed out at 1am for a tiny typo.
The first question was kind of odd, although I'm assuming you're asian/indian by the phrasing of the question. In my experience, as well as my friends, certain asians do tend to stick with other asians and he was probably curious what your thoughts on that were. I highly doubt he was trying to offend you and if you get offended that easily, finance may not be the best career path for you. (Obviously this is a generalization but one I have seen that is very common and not necessarily a bad thing...)
However, it is still an odd question to ask in an interview.
The second one has nothing wrong with it. I've seen some people who look unfit in business formal/casual but are shredded underneath. Maybe the group has a gym culture where everyone hangs out and goes to the gym. Maybe hey play sports together outside of the office. I don't think that question is bad at all.
Definitely not grounds for suing and I've had WAY worse interviews.
I wouldn't waste my time suing them, but I would file a complaint with a non-profit or state agency that regulates hiring practices. Not sure what you guys have in the UK, but whatever it is file it and then forward that to HR with the subject line, "I suggest you start looking for a new [whatever his title is]"
This was unprofessional. Don't waste your time. Flag the interviewer with HR and find another company that is run better.
You can't sue them without basically ending your career before it started, but you can totally fuck the person who threw this at you.
Holy shit @ #1. Was your interviewer autistic or just old?

Soft, suck it up if you wanna work in this industry
You definitely don't want to work there LOL. Me, I'd let it go. You, hey, give him the flaming bag of poo

Don't think you'd win the case in the UK. Maybe in the U.S., but not in Europe.
Agree that it's insane and racist. But the question is "should I sue". My view is suing is not going to get the OP anywhere and has a strong risk of doing him a disservice. Putting aside high minded principles of martyring himself for the sake of awareness raising , do you disagree with my suggested likely outcomes?
Don't listen to everyone, definitely sue. Even if you lose after months of legal fees it will make you feel better that you at least made an official attempt at healing your fragile self-esteem.
So I assume it's definitely fine if you are a rich college student? I guess that makes sense because then you can easily sue without a second thought.
