Do you get screwed if you put down your actual race/gender if you are not a minority on a job application? Is it better to put "prefer not to disclose" or does it not matter?

Do you get screwed if you put down your actual race/gender if you are not a minority on a job application? Is it better to put "prefer not to disclose" or does it not matter? All thoughts appreciated

I would imagine if you put "prefer not to answer" then they just treat you as nondiversity, or more specifically white (unless you have an ethnic name). It may help if you're Asian with a white name but otherwise it probably changes nothing since you don't get put in the diversity pile unless you explicitly report as being black/hispanic.
