see my answer at eejjjj82 below

So in order to eliminate unlawful discrimination people constantly need to communicate their ethnic background when applying for a job and employers keep track on that stuff? Are they also required to hire from each ethic minority, not the person with the best merits? Why not just skip the ethnic bookkeeping and make the workplace attractive to everyone instead? (same goes for universities)

Just a question from a non-american. Why is it so important to keep track on which "race" people belong to in America?
