    I had to read that title a few times. As it potentially could be its own answer: offer a blowjob

    If I’m genuinely speed running this and don’t have consequences is probably drop slurs followed by multiple, conflicting extreme political opinions involving violence and the like. The goal is that even if you find a racist who is excited about your slurs you can hit 'em with extreme progressive takes like “kill all men” or something.

    Worst case, after saying a bunch of bad things and conflicting opinions they’ll probably still just think you’re odd.

    A better but boring answer, just say “nevermind, I don’t want this job” first thing. lol.

      Story time: That happened to me. I was the interviewer.

      The canidate showed up and answered my first question with “I accepted another offer this morning.”

      It was a short interview.

      I think my notes just said “poor communication skills”, which seemed nicer than “didn’t occur to them to text rather than show up”.
