Yes, but does anyone treat it as ruined, or do you get targeted for both/all races?
If someone targets black people, you're on that list; if someone targets white people, you're also on that list!

What would happen if you just lied? I guess you wouldn't get healthcare coverage once they found out? But isn't there something in law about material damages, they'd have to prove you cost them money by choosing the wrong race?

I wish it were illegal to ask or record people's race in any commercial context in the US.
