It's not often, the last time for me was the stackoverflow survey. I usually reply that it's an illegal question where I live.

It’s not. Questions about race or origin are allowed in France with some conditions; it’s a common misconception that they are prohibited. For example, it’s fine to ask which race you feel you belong to, or any similar subjective question [1, p.70].
