    While I agree that requiring people to reveal their ethnicity should be a no-no for anything other than medical, asking for people to volunteer this information makes sense.

    In UK in many places giving ethnicity is optional and the results are used to monitor how different groups aka “races” are doing. This then can be used for research.

      Oh I know. My comment was more or less that they no longer should ask at all on the applications.
