Okay, so - for sure, if you're from an opposite "frictioned background" and you can interview someone neutrally, you should be able to.
But if you have an ethnic prejudice, you literally have an interest against the person you are interviewing.

(one example) > when did it begin?
hundreds of years ago
> when will it end?
not soon
> how big was it?
the US literally fought an entire war over it
> can we mitigate it somehow
Yes, by having a variety of people from different backgrounds interview the candidate.
That wasn't that hard, was it?
