    In a fair society, would people have big incentives to lie about their ethnicity & ancestry?

        I'm not defining it. I'm asking what you all think.

        It’s natural to play the card if it’s dealt. I’m a half breed...exactly 50% Mexican. So when I fill out a job or college application I’m “Hispanic”. When I get pulled over by the cops, I’m Italian! 🇮🇹😆👍

        That really depends on what you mean by "fair". Fair means something different to different people.

        Yes, that is what the question is, "Do you think a society with incentives for people to lie about ethnicity is a fair one?"

        Every society has had and will forever have reasons for people to lie about what tribe they being to.

        Define fair. You will not an agreement on what constitutes fair. So, this is just playing to the gallery who agree with your implicit definition of fair.

        It is clear from context that he means a society in which race provides no advantage or disadvantage. Do you think that is unfair or something?
