I was recently dumbfounded by a question published in "Der Spiegel"
which had been used in a survey to assess antisemitism in Germany. 

The question was, whether a Jew who was born in Germany and lived all
his life in Germany was a Jew or a German. I assume (I hope I'm in
error) that answering "a Jew" tarred the interviewee as antisemitic. 

If you exchange "Jew" in the question for, say, "Catholic" (and know the
least bit about how to get a German citizenship (or not)), the idiocy of
the question becomes obvious.
