@Acccumulation "I was honest" is a mis-characterization of the issue and OP didn't describe that in his post. OP's employer and coworkers are hostile towards him either racially and/or through bullying. That is why they don't like him. It has nothing to do with his exit interview.
@RichardU I think since OP was racially discriminated against/bullied as he described- it is not OP's position to feel as though he may "damage his career" by bringing this up to HR. That's not how professionals perceive it.
+1 Steve, and I think by design exit interviews are there to solve problems. I see this questionable logic repeated in the counter arguments- that OP has the opportunity to receive a positive reference in the future by lying in the present during the exit interview. There is no guarantee of that. No factual basis. Historically it doesn't make sense if OP is being bullied in the past and present. We cannot flip the script and say he can expect a positive reference in the future by lying during the exit interview. That does not make sense IMO, and is an error in the argument's logic.
@dwizum Point taken, and I understand- I wasn't trying to imply that one way or the other, so edited the answer. Part of the goal of these investigations is to expose what could make someone do something drastic to keep something private. Medical history is probably a non-issue in all honesty, the question is what other lengths is OP willing to go through to hide the information. I hope that makes sense.
