Fun fact, if you're a visible minority people will ask you the same question in English speaking countries!

I would answer "I am Tom."

Then I'd laugh, because my name isn't Tom. I have just played an epic prank!!!!

Sounds like they've figured out how not to be reduced to their jobs!

Naah, instead depending on the minority they'll be further reduced to their skin colour, religion, genitals or sth. else. For the majority these things usually are just indicators for potential career chances and likelihood of being harassed.
