No. There was a prominent case of Rachel Dolezal who identified as black and used that in college and job applications as well as welfare claims.
She got sacked, sued by the state government, and vilified in the court of popular opinion. You might get away with this kind of fraud, but it's not a good time for it if you do get caught.
Clearly she did, but my point is that society may evolve it's viewpoints on the matter, in the same way that has happened with transgenderism, at least in non-conservative circles.
Caitlyn Jenner would have been called a "fraud" 30 years ago if she identified as she does now. Why would it be different for race?
10 years from now, will everyone who vilified Dolezal have to issue mea culpas on their twitter equivalent about how they should not have hated on her and how un-woke they were?
Rather than a fraud, I think Caitlyn Jenner would have been seen more as a pervert or a monstrosity or an attention-seeking weirdo, depending on your world view. It's not like she's competing in women's athletics, or hides the fact that she was born a man.
But yeah, fashions change, and at some point it will be completely acceptable to pick your own ethnic identity. The only question is whether that happens in 10 years, or long after Dolezal and all her critics have been forgotten.
She got sacked, sued by the state government, and vilified in the court of popular opinion. You might get away with this kind of fraud, but it's not a good time for it if you do get caught.
