It costs money to sequence DNA and calculate someone's ancestry. 23andMe loses money whenever it sells a kit. Are you seriously too lazy to save a nonprofit a few hundred bucks by spending 1 second to indicate your race?
Also, every time I buy something at a store, I have to give them my addresses. Including my phone number and a few extra ways to contact me in case I move, and you know, someone is dying and needs my help, sounds pretty reasonable.

- burgerbrain 15y agoMany stores ask for it. Radioshack I believe is a prime example of this. I've never heard of them hassling you if you refuse however.
- cdh 15y agoRadioShack only asks for your zip code. It pops up and asks when ringing something up. They can just hit escape if you don't want to tell them.
- gujk 15y agoRadioshack stopped doing that a while back.
- burgerbrain 15y agoAh, good to hear.
- namidark 15y agoThats when you give them the address: "123 Biteme Street" (pronounced Biteeem)... Or just tell them no
