The CEO was very offensive and way out of line by asking such racially-tinged questions in a technical interview but I think people in the US go way overboard when it comes to the N word. It's essentially treated like the V word in Harry Potter which it's ridiculous and childish. People can't even refer to it in order to discuss it. College professors can even lose their jobs for talking about it in a classroom. I mean, Obama got some bad rap for talking about it on some interview. It's insane. And it's all cosmetics since the actual roots and possible solutions to the racial divide are rarely ever talked about or dealt with.
