Where they ask for your race, as if that reflects how well you will perform your job duties. For companies like Michael Kors, I personally know look policy is the most anal hiring rule. Easily on par with Abercrombie & Fitch circa 2010 form of hiring.

Asking for references, particularly when they are required to be professional.
- there is a possibility that former bosses/ coworkers may have changed their job locations and/or be unreachable. Therefore, it may be difficult to contact them.
- It's basically judging a book by its cover, unless an employee did something drastic or extremely harmful (such as stealing or commiting a felony) then our previous job performances shouldn't affect of chances of being hired again.
Also, the race/ ethnicity question. - mainly because I'm considered multiracial or "mixed" and I get sick of having to explain on paper that I consist of multiple races causing a simple answer to turn into one big story. Lol
