Examiner: What color do you not want at home? Why?
Candidate: I guess there is no such color. I like almost all colors, but I avoid buying black clothes. In our culture, we consider black as inauspicious, so I will not paint a wall black or wear a black outfit to a wedding. However, I have no issues with using a black laptop or black cellphone.
