As an interviewer, you should be careful about asking certain questions especially those that are considered as "sensitive" topics. Of course, knowing these topics should be on top of every recruiter's list. Though it may seem like a lot, you should also use your judgement on whether or not that question would be acceptable during an interview.
Based on this article, anything which discusses these things should be treaded on carefully:
-Nationality
-Birthplace
-Ethnicity or race
-Religion
-Sexual orientation
-Marital status
-Health conditions and physical disabilities
Rephrasing questions and making it general or common but could still drive out the needed answer should be the way to approach these topics. This means that a straight-forward approach is out of the picture. Here is a great explanation on why being careful during an interview is important:
