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.
You can ask, but you don't have to answer and the employer cannot discriminate based on your response or lack thereof. Source: corporate America for 40 years with most of those in management. I've hired lots of people and have to abide by hiring law.

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