  Can you point me to cases of overtly White Europeans applying and being admitted to top programs as another race?

    Trump constantly points out the case of Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren.

      What? I don't pay attention to Trump's speeches, but my question was asking about acceptance to top programs as a different race. Not a politician elected who claimed partial racial heritage. Can a White guy apply to the top CS program as a Black female, simply because he identifies as one? Where is the line drawn?

      Except Elizabeth Warren had already taught at UPenn and other top schools and was already a well known figure in bankruptcy law...

    I have multiple classmates and relatives who proudly did this. Interestingly, all are conservative and anti-affirmative action. Their pride was probably related to exploiting the system or proving that it's poorly policed.
