White - British

White and Black - African
White and Black - Caribbean

This...if they want to know that about you, I would assume it means that it's an aspect of who they hire, and wouldn't want to work for them.

That said, if I wanted the job I would just lie. A lot of people at my work already think im Christian for some reason.

Edit:

About the ethnicity question, I wouldn't even know how to answer....

There isn't a White - American option.

As if that wasn't enough, it's asking me to write essays in addition to my resume and cover letter.

A lot of times those questions are optional and they only use them for their racial hiring quotas.

URS?

They don't care about your religion. They just want to make sure you are available to work on Saturdays and Sundays.

LOL.. I've applied to a few jobs they've posted... =x

Not that I actually mind working on Saturdays or Sundays. Somehow, I'm guessing that you're laughing at more than that, though.
