I know a few folks who have (figuratively) dug up their distant Native American and hispanic ancestors to gain an edge in their government careers. Everyone just recognized them as ordinary white people until then. I don't know if its in "vogue" or not, but its allowed according to the rules that the government set up, I don't see anything unethical about it.

You mean because our confused society has shifted from the historic practice of favoring the 'Haves' regarding all that but lately has been pressured to cater to the Nots? Maybe you think life is fair in America. It never has been. And I think you are confused, blaming the wrong people, since nobody made Ms. Dolezal assume another ethnicity. It was her passion, her own choice.
