This is bad news for URMs. I am hispanic and was an international student— looking back there's many "extra" things that added to my feeling anxious before interviews. The imposter syndrome was real and I worried about wether I'd fit in, for example. I luckily don't have much of a language barrier but there were definitely a cultural barriers. In the back of my mind I was always thinking I had to do more than "enough" and be exceptional. You read studies about how two people with the same qualifications might not get the same results after an interview due to unconscious biases by the interviewer. I felt like I had to be good enough that'd I'd overcome any kind of bias the interviewer might have. It's stressful.
