re: Job applications...do you choose to identify with a gender or ethnicity?

I'm not angry as much as I am disappointed.

Shouldn't the best person for the job be hired on the basis of their resume and experience? Why should race or gender matter at all unless you are applying for an exclusively female organization (e.g. an all-female gym like Curves)?

I'm not in a position to dictate whom a company considers the best person for a particular job. I do know that if you were born white, reasonably well off, and American in this day and age, you kinda struck a bit of an historical jackpot. Just try to make the best of it.
