This!!!

I did my entire mortgage online and didn't even meet the people I was working with until the closing.

Obvious troll story is obvious.

Just went through the home buying process in December. Surprisingly, I was asked what my race was by several different lenders (over the phone). I wasn't required to answer, but the question was asked. I thought it was very strange. Doesn't affect me as a white, middle class male, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be the person having to ask the question. I know it's just to keep track of demographics, but you have to think you are going to make some people pissy by asking.
