Show I hide my gender and race information on job application?

I've read an article on how bias affect the result of job searching. If name on the resume is hidden, man and woman have almost same result form resume scanning. Otherwise, the result is significantly different, man are a lot more higher than woman. I have a neutral name. But on the job online job application, there's usually a section where you fill out your gender and race. I wonder should I hide those information to get a higher acceptance result?
