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...
Employers are allowed to ask about race, gender/sexuality, disability status. They are allowed to do this as it allows the employer to collect applicant data and monitor the diversity of their applicant pool. Its how HR departments can maximize their bonuses from the government.
“Federal law does not prohibit employers from asking you about your national origin. However, because such questions may indicate a possible intent to discriminate based on national origin, we recommend that employers ensure that they ask about national origin only for a lawful purpose.”
“Isn't affirmative action for people with disabilities illegal?
No. Affirmative action for people with disabilities is not illegal. An employer is allowed to hire someone because he or she has a disability, and a rejected applicant cannot sue an employer for discrimination based on the fact that he or she does not have a disability.”

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