Any interview I've ever had where HR is involved is somewhere I would never work.

Last time this happened I was informed that Russian and Indian are races. Talking about my coworkers by their country of origin (I was saying how refreshing it was to work with a broad array of people in SF vs what I normally work with [white male] in Oklahoma.)

Russian is a race. Seriously.

HR employees are worthless in my experience (~35 years in the labor force).

Only worthless? You've been lucky. I have learned from my experience that HR is at best an enormous obstruction that must be continually worked around, and is at worst an enemy to whom you should never show your back.

Or your belly, for that matter.
