I’m a self taught hack. I’ve been known to use a goto statement. I don’t take myself too seriously and I don’t expect you to take me too seriously. If I’m wrong or suck, I have thick skin.

I disagree a bit about the culture fit tactic. We are a small outfit. We need people in our small group to be able to work with us and vice versa. Race doesn't factor into such a thing unless you have a bunch of racists on staff...

I didn't say unconscious bias isn't a thing. But if you seriously think our company will not hire a QUALITY candidate who happens to be a minority or gay or of a certain religion simply because a team member has a bad feeling about him they're going to need a better reason.
A small company has too much to lose to spend 3 months ramping someone up on a platform to find out later they refuse to ask questions out of pride or some other reason.
Also, culture fit is ALWAYS part of the interview process whether you want to admit it to yourself or not. If the person was a rock star developer (resume screams fantastic candidate) who has developed an iOS game and has made a successful personal career, but shows up and refuses to answer the females there, or they casually bring up how annoying they think team-building exercises are? Perhaps that wouldn't have been caught if you didn't bring in some team members to gauge how they respond to varying personalities.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

That's not true, unconscious bias is super powerful.
Not to mention that the idea of culture fit in-and-of-itself is rooted in, "we should only hire people like us."
