What are your general comments?

"My interview experience was not bad but the first person who interviewed me talked to me a lot about my Iranian descent and the Iranian government (just because I was born in Iran, it does not mean that I am an expert in Iranian politics!) and also made a lot of negative comments about how Toronto has become too muticultural!!! I have been living in Canada for only 8 years now myself, so I was pretty offended by his views and what pressured me the most was the fact that I had no choice but to keep smiling at him and bear his horrible attitude. The interesting thing was that he was a second generation immigrant himself!! It seemed like he was not even happy about the high tolerance that Canadians have for diversity. His comments not only distracted me from my purpose for being there in the first place but I had to try hard to keep my confidence high. It made the whole interview difficult and discomforting for me and I was not able to answer the questions as well as I wanted to. When I left the room I was thinking to myself: Do I really want to study in the US? " Report Response
