While employers may not be allowed to ask a lot of those protected class questions, the federal gov't. can and does ask them by making most employers also collect that information under the guise of doing so for federal compliance. In fact, every online job app I have filled out in the last 15 years asked my race, ethnicity, if I was disabled and if I was a veteran. Scratch that - those online apps were accompanied by federal questionnaires that asked those questions. So, while the employer wasn't asking, they collected the info for the feds and obviously could read it and, legal or not, use it in their decision-making process.
