I’ve seen workarounds where the applicant WANTS the prospective employer to know: “African Student Union” and such. I believe this is because especially for companies with gubmint contracts, they have race/gender quotas set by the gubmint (as opposed to the employer itself). Sends a warning to employers: This is a “professional (black/Hispanic/female)”; not a (black/Hispanic/female) professional, but someone who is trying to peddle the race/gender into a paycheck.
That’s exactly why race info should end. The purpose has been lost and is now manipulated. That manipulation just adds to the division and animosity.
