Not only that, the gov't. assists private industry in doing the same thing by having them all ask your gender, ethnicity, if you have a disability and if you're a veteran. Of course, it's illegal to discriminate on those criteria, but by making employers collect it from applicants, employers get all that info with legal cover from the feds, and they'd just about never be able to ask such things in a job interview or as part of their own job application.
And if you ever look at job ads from German companies, even in the US, they almost all list "m/w" in the headline, meaning it can be for a man or a woman, suggesting they can discriminate on that basis too.
