I'm not a daily-mail reading "British Jobs for British People" spaz...
...a few years ago I was applying for a second job at a well-known Pizza place.

As I was filling in the form, I noticed one section saying "please indicate your ethnicity", and underneath it "[Pizza place] is an equal opportunities employer".

If you're an equal opportunities employer, then why do you need to know that in the first place?

I didn't fill it in. I still got the job.

I always put
'Wackasian' as my ethnicity. Having said that, maybe that's why I always fail at the 'writing the application' phase of job application.

I never fill those in. They can't make you either.

I think its an audit/monitoring thing. I always put "English".
