I'd like to echo some of the sentiments that whether or not this is common, you should probably just write this team off. It seems like they're assholes and even if they could suppress it long enough to hire you, you'd know that they really think shitty things about you because of your race.

However, the reason I'm bothering to reply here isn't that, it's to say that you may simply want to reconsider aiming for the games industry. I know working on games sounds sexy, and I wanted to do it once too, but I landed a gig in the games industry once, and it made me realize that developing games is not really any more fun than developing any number of other software products, but it has the huge drawback that there are a bazillion people who want to work on games bad enough that they will settle for a shitty salary with shitty working conditions working on a shitty game. These are the candidates you're competing against, so this is the candidate you will become.
