> I really doubt that anyone's interviewing skills are so good that they can cure the interviewer's racism. Racism can be very subtle and insidious, though. You don't always need to talk them out of beliefs like "we are going to take your country away from you," it's more about dispelling unexamined gut beliefs like "the best candidate will probably visually resemble the people who have been good in that role before." The latter is less difficult to overcome if you can get yourself into the face-to-face stage.
