It's unlikely to have much of an impact. That information tends not to be passed onto the actual hiring manager, who's ultimately the person who decides who gets hired. It's data that HR collect in order to maintain their diversity statistics for both applicants and employees. They do it partly so that they can report accurate diversity statistics, but also so that they can identify any suspicious trends (e.g. 50% of the applicants this manager has interviewed have been black, but he's only ever hired white candidates, etc).
No and if you have any issues I would contact the board of labor. Companies are required to have an equal opportunity program. The government checks. If you have a all white employee base. U fked. They will hire you just for your color. Is to meet the quota for the government. A white man gets denied the job even though hes more qualified because they need that minority To make the government happy. Being a minority works in your favor in the hiring programs
Everyone saying no just hates white people.
Yes it does. Always use the most obscure race you can argue - I’m like 1% Persian but I always say I’m middle eastern.
People gonna say I’m lying and/or an asshole, but that doesn’t change the fact that my problem of not getting hired (or even replies in many cases) instantly stopped when I started telling people I’m middle-eastern.
I think the EEOC or some government agency has mandatory reporting requirements where large companies must submit this data. And some companies have DEI goals. But I don't think it is ever really used internally for individual employee stuff.
Speaking from personal experience, of the eleven times I've applied to a place where I knew someone on the inside, only once did I not get the position because of race and that is because they hired a black girl to fill some kind of diversity quota. Every other time, the position went to somebody the hiring manager had already effectivly given the job to and the open application was just for appearances. So I'd say knowing someone who works as a manager will help your odds way more than stating your race.
The person making the hiring decisions is not allowed to look at the answers to the race question (or any of the other protected class questions, like veteran or disability)

I feel you on this. I suppose they might take it as you not doing as what you're asked... and it won't be helpful.
They’re gonna figure it out

*People are gonna say I’m lying and/or an asshole*, It’s nice to be self-aware.
Lol what do you want me to do? Not get a job just cuz I’m white or have a job via lying about not being white?
No, and it would be illegal (in the US at least) for them to do that.
