New York Times Engineer interview questions

I went through phone interviews with an HR person and with a technical interviewer and all went well. I then had a zoom call where everything seemed to go great. Then I was informed, in a very strange way, that they had diversity quotas and wouldn't be able to hire me because of my race.

Applied through the website and HR coordinator (maybe manager) contacted me for a phone Interview. We scheduled one and the interviewer never called on the scheduled time. I emailed back, they said sorry and scheduled another one. The next time they called, with 2 interviewers. Apparently liked me enough to fly me over to do an In-Person interview. I have to admit their HR is very accommodating and let me come in a few days earlier to visit friends. I had the interview on a monday with 8 people, in 4 sessions (2 per session). The last one was cancelled. Seemed like a successful interview. When I got home, the next day, I sent in my Thank you letter to the hiring manager and was told that i'd hear from them soon. Its been over a month since they responded. I sent 2 emails to the HR coordinator and not a single peep. I'm assuming they rejected me so I'm gonna mark this one up as a "no offer"
