Comment on Ask HN: For job applications do the voluntary disclosures matter? Why have them?

Comments

Although not explicitly illegal, asking these kind of questions in another country would open up the risk of being sued for discrimination in case a person belonging to a minority wouldnt get the job.

Ive always wondered about the US' obsession with racial heritage (I thought that got settled in 1945) etc.

Much like many other contentious issues, powerful people benefit from keeping racism or at least the fear of racism alive.
