Once again stolen medical records are being used for state oppression. In WWII, the Netherlands suffered 75% of their Jewish population killed - the highest of any country even Germany - because the invading Nazis made a beeline for the medical records archive where the government kept a meticulous track of all Dutch citizens. I never volunteer race or ethnicity on any such forms - there is no medical benefit, it can only come back to hurt you.
