My man, it sounds like they were looking for a certain individual, and you didnt fit the picture. They had already decided after looking at your resume, those two specific questions. From what I know about english teachers, they arent searching for competency, they are searching for people who wont cause issues or rock the boat. Also, if it is a big school, they are looking for white people or people that arent asian to teach english. It gives them a certain image of prestige. So, I wouldnt think about it much further.
Yes, this is why I didn’t stay on in Japan to teach English.
In Singapore, we learn English as a first language and entrust locals to teach it to our kids. Very few foreigners are hired by our system because why would they want to teach in Singapore when they can do it elsewhere for bigger bucks? Haha

Yeah, I thought it was always unfair to the locals.
