That sounds an awful lot like what I went through with one job interview back in the mid-1970s, which was then the heyday of "affirmative action", not for H1B foreign workers but US citizens of "minority" or "disadvantaged" class, which meant mainly women and Afro-Americans.

That reminds me of a test I took for an actuarial position with an insurance company back in 1985. I scored an 89 on the test. It was not high enough to be hired. The interviewer showed me the grading chart. One thing I noticed were that there where 2 columns. The second column was for minorities. For the same amount of questions that I got wrong, if I were a minority I would have scored a 97 ( high enough to be hired ). The minority scores were "adjusted".
