Are you a minority?
Are you homosexual?
Are you Asian?
If so, the HR software will pick up those words when screening resumes, so, be sure to list that info someplace, like under “Activities” where you were secretary of some female group, or president of The Black Students Society, or President of the universities GLBTXYZ Club.

White male?
Hardly any chance.
In Boeing, every so often they would parade the new hires through on an orientation tour, and usually it was about a group of 12, with white males accounting (at best) for about four. Females were about four, with minority males accounting for the other four. Very noticeable because engineering graduates are overwhelmingly white and male, so the statistics are skewed, indeed. Oh, and can't overlook the fact Boeing execs would get a pay bump for mentoring females and minorities, not for mentoring white males. No incentive to hire white males.
Serious.
Sounds like they were Americans at least.
In the past 5 years, almost all the new employees were Indians at the company I worked for until being laid off.
It is probably 75% Indian (Muslim and Hindu) currently.
No, maybe, no, and no.
I think I can technically claim 'Hispanic' and 'Indian' (Native American, for the PC), though I've never really claimed them.

I don't think I have an 'activities' section; quite frankly it's not relevant to employment.

That I can believe; it rubs against my more idealistic nature though: race should have near-zero to do with getting hired.
