Any minority recruiters/HR who can truthfully confirm if checking off an ethnicity when submitting a job application matters or is it better off to mark "Prefer not to say" for a better chance of getting follow-ups?

I am a woman of color in HR. A lot of firms and companies are intentionally trying to diversify right now so I always disclose. Also seeing a trend towards more selecting “two or more races”.

I think sometimes the candidates name will give it away that they are a minority so everyone might as well disclose to claim it without the need for assumptions. If they’re not going to hire based on any protected class, you will probably not get to interview nor want to work there. You will see the end result and diversity makeup, especially in leadership teams as time goes on. It just proves where they are in efforts and reality. After some time if there is no change, there will be no change. I am expecting changes in coming years, if not significant at least a decent amount and it’s not just more white women but this time race/ethnicity too.

I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
