[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely disagree with PP. You should ask to speak to Asian American woman directly. It sounds like she is upset not only with the incorrect statement but how she feels she was treated during the interview. It can be exhausting for soft spoken women of any race that have to compete for space with their louder male colleagues and in this day and age, sophisticated professionals should be able to see that and mitigate it where necessary. That means speaking to the woman as much as speaking to the man regardless of how loud the man is. You need to apologize for that part at least and do better next time. [/quote]

To be clear, I disagree with the people who say to ignore it, clearly when your clients are telling you that it caused it a huge problem. I don’t understand why ignoring is even suggested, honestly.  It’s so easy to find people to do your job that wont ignore those sorts of issues. [/quote]

I wouldn't reach out directly, but the rest of that statement is valuable advice. It's your job to draw out the soft spoken person during the interview. Instead you took the easy route of letting the loud male get all the attention. The female was probably used to it and just shut down.[/quote]
