Does any remember about 5 years ago, you were never asked your religion, race, if you had a disability or any other equality questions.
Now, since equality regulations came into place, job applications and consultations etc all now ask optional questions about these things. The point of the equality regulations is to ensure people are not discriminate for a job based on any of the above things yet since then, companies have started asking for it so they can 'monitor' their equality status.
We were never asked about race, religion etc before so now that it is illegal for companies to discriminate you based on these things, they now ask for this information. Though the questions are optional, they are being asked so we are giving companies the information they need to discriminate and so on as a result of the regulations brought in to stop that kind of behavior.
Am I missing something here? The whole thing seems absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary.
