They ask that shyt on multiple questions now tho. I seen it on at least 5 questions on one application and they didn't ask about any other race. Latinos should be rebelling against that shyt and I'm in arguably the most liberal place in the country so I can only imagine how bad it is in Texas or Florida which are both Trump states.
it's literally highly illegal even in trump's america to ask someone their ethnicity if they're going to use that to refuse them the job. not to mention these types of questions have been on apps for years as someone has pointed out. they're doing it for other reasons.
my guess is if it's a position where they want to hire a bilingual person who speaks spanish, they're looking to know if the person is latino too because i'm sure a lot of people markdown they're bilingual on their applications because they took spanish in high school, meanwhile they're looking for someone who may have been speaking it their whole life.
then you take into account that these corporations are also lazy so they've probably standardized a lot of the questions even for positions that don't require a person to be bilingual.
it could also be that you're filling out that EEOC form that's with every job application and isn't mandatory to fill out lol.
