Racial misrepresentation
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Racial misrepresentation can occur 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]
Misrepresenting race can also occur when people follow (usually negative) racial stereotypes rather than seeing people as they actually are. In the United States, doctors and medical students tend to favor white Americans over black Americans leading to disparities in health care.[5]
