Technically it is illegal to advertise housing/lending/employment based on race. However you can choose which locations and publications you choose to advertise in, so facebook could easily get around this by having a checkbox to say you're advertising for employment/housing/lending which would remove the "affinity" options but still allow things like location or "people who follow" type ad choices.

Auto insurance industry will charge more or less based on where you live (higher rates in black neighborhood) and that's why the want your zip code. Zuck has been doing the same.
