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?

I think it's just you. I can't see how it would be offensive.

As to why it matters, I guess that depends on what the survey's for.

I think maybe it wasn't that question in particular, but perhaps the lack of associated questions to actually give the question any sort of rationale.
