So I'm doing a survey for the University of Ottawa, and all of a sudden they ask the following question

"Had serious conversations with students of a different race or ethnicity than your own"
(Options, Very Often, Often, Sometimes, Never)

Is it just me or is this offensive and why should it matter?

Because maybe the study (which I typo'd as "the stupid" initially) is more interested in racial and ethnic cultural boundaries than sexual and physical ones?

The survey got dumber as it went on, including asking for my average grades in a marking scheme that our University does not employ
