Official forms over here usually ask your country of birth followed up by residency status, but the only question about race as far as I can ever recall is whether you might be aboriginal or torres straight islander, and that's just because you'd get assistance for things like going to uni etc or for some health issues associated with those groups.

As Jim said, I don't see what the hell the relevance is. It's outright racism to discriminate against any applicant based on what they look like. Students should be protesting this instead of some of the other shit stupid things they protest about.
