I'm sorry, but trying to dictate someone's identity to them is always wrong.

80. OK, so

The government makes diversity scholarships available for Native Americans. I can then claim to identify myself as a Native American and grab one of the scholarships?

Reminds me of the federal government back in the 80s wanting everybody in Civil Service to check a block and choose a race. In one office, 80% of the employees chose Aleut/Alaskan Native. The directive came down that supervisors should discreetly examine their employees to determine if someone had checked the wrong block.

I own a factory that employs all white males. The EEO comes around to check out my diversity. My employees all tell the EEO that they identify as women and/or minorities in appropriate numbers to indicate that I have model diversity.
