It's so funny when a cultural difference catches me completely off-guard like this. I did the eyeball-equivalent of a double-take.

In the US, no interviewing employer would dare ask about anything of the sort, even in passing conversation outside of the real interview questions. They'd be sued faster than they could blink, because the subtext would be that the offer of employment depended on the answer.
