Supreme court (I just looked it up, not a supreme court ruling, but the executive Equal Employment Opportunity Commission... paging Trump's pen and phone) rules that you may not discriminate in hiring, lending, and renting to someone based whether they have been convicted of a crime that minorities commit disproportionately. (Using the 1964 civil rights act as a basis).
So companies instead just ask people to list what felonies they committed and then don't hire them based on the fact that they almost always lie about it.
Always been an amusing loophole to me.

I dont think they want to open the can of worms about what type of crimes minorities commit more of
