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

How about in a society becoming more fair? Then yes.

Given that fairness includes actions intended to counteract unfair treatment in the past, the answer is yes.

In a fair society is there deception or game theory of any/all sorts? Of course there is.

What do you mean by Fair? Like there is no ethnic /ancestry prejudice? Or do you mean the STRUCTURAL policies (law, quotas) ets are ethnic/ancestry blind? (Not realistic, unfortunately)

No. However, since a fair society is an asymptotic state, the next best disincentive would be to apply penalty for lying about one's ancestry. Applying skin in the game heuristic, no upside without downside.

How would one disprove another's ancestry? I don't believe there are detailed records that could definitively prove you were not descended from a given group of people, given most groups of people were not classified as such at all times in history. Besides which, how far back?
