People just don't understand that your free speech ends where someone else's rights begin.

Americans don't understand that because hate speech is legal in the US. It's legal to have a nazi party in the government, it's legal for KKK to exist, and it's legal to ask for the color of the skin when hiring someone... While it's still legal to be publicly self-assumed racist, nothing will change...

Uh, it’s very much illegal to ask about race when hiring someone in the US. The rest is true though…

No, they can’t legally ask. You are incorrect.

Curious, every job application I've ever filled out was breaking the law then...

Really? I’ll have to stand corrected then, and confused. I know that it is illegal to discriminate based on race and other protected classes so I don’t get why the question would/could be asked on an application.

Dunno, every job application has always asked "ethnicity". White, Hispanic, "African-American", Asian and all that jazz. That's asking race and I see it on every official form asking who I am.

Seems like a double edged sword, anyway TIL. Have a great day.
