Why do they ask about your race/ethnicity in job applications? Should they?

Hey everyone. So I have noticed that in every single job application ever (in the US) we are asked to say our race/ethnicity. Why? I think that's a horrible idea. I read somewhere it's because that data goes to government, so that they can see there is "no discrimination". But wouldn't that make more sense if the data was collected AFTER the person is hired, whoever they are? Especially since nowadays the applications are online, the hiring manager won't know the race or other physical attributes of a person, so they will judge solely on the candidate's resume, accomplishments, etc. I think it gives the employer more chance to discriminate, if the job seekers are asked to write their race. Because then employers could also take the race as a decision driver, and that is very bad. I always have found it so odd, why should my race matter, just look at whether I qualify.

What do you guys think about it?
