Racial misrepresentation
Racial misrepresentation occurs when someone deliberately misrepresents their racial or ethnic background. They may or may not pass as the assumed identity and such misrepresentation may or may not be fraudulent. It may occur for a variety of reasons, such as the desire to benefit from affirmative action programs that the person is not eligible for.[1][2][3][4]
