(yet she won't call them herself and has thrown it off on me.. hmmmm...). Apparently, our corportate is requesting that all of our divisions do this because a large corporate account of theirs is demanding to know. I am just wondering if anyone else out there thinks this seems a bit odd or offensive to be asking...

I'm definitely not kidding when I say it's not. It's something very standard to ask. A lot of clients meet certain minority or women quotas and will need to find out if you are before they give you business.
