Being a white male in America is very, very hard.

The way I see it, being a middle-class white male in this country already puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to finding work these days. Why should I choose to automatically disqualify myself by identifying with a gender or race that doesn't adhere to a company/department-imposed quota?
Must suck to be a white guy nowadays :rollseyes:
This is such a farce

But to answer you question, I just put my gender.
My gender or my race SHOULDNT matter should it

All these unqualified and uneducated minorities must be taking his jobs from him! You know, the jobs God Mandates for only he and other white males!

If you don't identify, it means you're a white male.
Be a smartass and remind them that "gender" refers to words and inanimate objects, properly. What they mean to ask is "sex."

Depends on the job.

Does it matter? They're going to figure it out if they call you in for an interview...if they haven't already looked you up on LinkedIn at that point.

Agreed 100%. I don't think many people would argue against this. May the most qualified individual get the job.

I mark Asian on everything I do. I also keep backup fortune cookies in case I feel it might help.
