We are in the process of hiring a medical assistant. A girl came in today and filled out an application. Under the "Ethnic Group" section, the choices are: Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pac, Native American, and Other. She checked the "Other" box and under the box wrote this. "1/2 Check, 1/2 Mexican, 1/2 Hispanic."

With mathematical skills such as those, she really was more cut out to be a doctor.

Definitely. You'll get 1.5 of a person and you still only have to give her 1 paycheck.

I think it's legal to ask as long as the response is voluntary.

We use an industry-standard form (medical practice). The section is clearly listed as optional in bold print. We have no use for the information at all. It's just a standard form.

The idea of someone who thinks .5 + .5 + .5 == 1 working in the medical field, in any position, does not sit well with me.
