A person who doesn't feel comfortable when immersed in a culturally diverse environment might have difficulty navigating this question. They might stammer and struggle to find the right words. Whereas a person who has experience being immersed in a culturally rich environment and working with people from all walks of life will have no trouble navigating this question. What they'll be looking for is less of what example you'll answer with and more so how you answer.

The goal here is to exemplify that you are inclusive and that others enjoy working with you, regardless of ethnic or social background. Your answer should highlight a universal human experience.

"Many. One person I worked with recently came from a different cultural background than my own. I knew little about their culture and society and was amazed by what they endured. I had a vague idea, but not to the extent they shared. Afterward, I kind of saw that person as a hero. The hurdles they had to overcome and their sheer determination to beat the odds stacked against them amazed me. Despite what they endured, they consider themselves the luckiest person alive. That's an achievement. That's greatness, and it humbles you."

I am uniquely adjusted to working with diverse colleagues and having hard discussions about identifying politics with them. At CLS I worked with a few colleagues to organize conversations with a consultant to address racism in the workplace.
