Is it unethical to get an ethnicity DNA test to see if I qualify for affirmative action?

This probably sounds like some kind of satire effort, but I actually got one from National Geographic already (but it only traced direct male lineage), which said I wasn't Germanic Central European 20,000 years ago or something like that. I already knew that part.

There are other ones that give percentage of different racial groups and can break it down to subgroups too.

There have been a couple of odd stories about this, like one about a black guy who found out he wasn't:

And this New York Times story on people using it the way I'm thinking:

I would also prefer to have a more interesting ethnic portfolio to pass on to my kids.

1. Mmm... what a weird question

I think you should ask yourself: "What do I consider myself to be?", followed by "How does society classifies me as?".

After answering those two questions, you should know if you qualify for AA or not.

2. well, white and white, but my white homies haven't exactly bent over backwards to give me a leg up

maybe I'd have better luck with a different ethnicity.
