Pasty white liberal pretends to be black, gets job with the NAACP, sends herself death threats.

She identifies as black. Can I identify as tax exempt? I kinda' liking this whole you can be whoever/whatever you want to be.
Is there (anymore) a legal requirement to pick a race?

You can, under the right circumstances, be tax-exempt.

That's an interesting question. What happens if my child puts on an application to college that he is American Indian, and he has no heritage as such? Is that fraudulent? Does anyone care?

The college would care. That's about it I would guess. If monies were therefore disbursed it might become a legal matter. Don't know.
 
Rachel Dolezal once sued black college for racial discrimination against her as a white woman

The Rachel Dolezal story took another strange turn Monday when The Smoking Gun released documents showing the white woman who pretended for a decade to be a black woman once sued a black college for discriminating against her as a white woman.

According to court documents the news site unearthed, Dolezal, then going by the last name Moore, filed a discrimination suit against Howard University in 2002 for denying her a teaching position “based on race.” Howard is one of about 100 historically black colleges in the United States formed before 1964 to serve African-American students who were denied educational opportunities at other institutions.

“Moore failed to make the requisite showing” that she had suffered employment discrimination based on her race or being part of any other protected group, the D.C. Court of Appeals found.

The court ordered Dolezal to reimburse Howard more than $2,700 in legal costs, as well as nearly $1,000 during the case for an “obstructive and vexatious” court filing, according to The Smoking Gun.

When I was applying to engineering schools I got a letter from CSULB saying I was accepted and had been admitted based partly on my "native american heritage".

The odd thing is that I checked the "caucasian" box on the application and nowhere in my application was there anything about being native american. It didn't inspire much confidence in CSULB lol. I ended up at USC.
