The obvious solution is to just lie when applying to jobs. Anything short of a genetic test to determine your racial origin is unsatisfactory and administering such a test for a job applicant is illegal and for good reason. Can you imagine a Gattaca style world where tech companies require your 23andme profile for diversity purposes? There is no situation where somebody in the application process would talk to you about their concerns you don't match some race you claimed to be a part of. Can you imagine some HR person saying "Um, excuse me but I don't really think you are 1/4 black because your skin looks really white to me". Just pretend your grandparent is some other race and claim mixed race on the application, for all you know you very well may be. It also brings up an interesting question. Without a genetic profile can you truthfully answer what your race is on a job application? Are there legal implications to answering without concrete knowledge? Without such a test I suppose you can only really call yourself "indeterminate race".
