From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions.

In support of their Affirmative Action goals and utilization analysis reports, federally funded contractors voluntarily ask race related job application questions relying on the honor system. Federal job application forms don't have a biological parent box to check.
But to address the original posters question, white women who take the last names of their asian husbands are often listed as asian and hence classified as minorities. So yes, in our color blind society a person is entitled to whatever sex/race that will give them the most advantage.
LANS and LLNS each have Affirmative Action programs with utilization goals sorted by race and job titles. Have a look see. If a mechanical engineer is race Y and LANS or LLNS are "underutilized" in race Y, for a related job title (engineer, group leader, etc.), the mechanical engineer would likely benefit from identifying with race Y on his or her application. Race identification as earlier stated, depends on the applicant honor system, not on biological parent race verification, and is therefore subject to abuse.
Can you believe that? If you doubt, just read newline on hires and promotions.
Wait a minute, is she XX or XY or maybe even YY? I'm horribly confused.
