If you're the stereotypical white male, is there any advantage to leaving these questions blank? Or are they just used for statistics afterwards?

If you are part of an overrepresented race in medicine...i would leave the "ethnicity" question blank!
Some programs do screen for Hispanic/AA/American Indian as minority fill ins that they need in programs.
To prevent being screened out...you can answer the race Q but leave ethnicity "no answer"
Yeah, leave it blank and fool them. They'll never figure it out from your picture anyway.
Who do you really think you would fool? By choosing not to answer, you are obviously caucasion and it looks bad. Do you really think they would think anything else? If you aren't caucasion and you say you wish not to answer, I'd wonder why you choose to do that and I'd wonder about you too. Just answer the question.
I'm not Caucasian and would prefer it be a color-blind process. I don't see why it is so hard to understand why I would want to be granted an interview irrespective of my race.
