Now I wonder how it will work for the government? And the NAACP?
For the government and EEO reporting they will care less. I do the EEO reporting for my school district. Ethnicity/Race is based solely on self identification. If you say you are something, then by law that's what we have to enter. Under EEO reporting Guidelines, if you refuse to provide any input, the at the time of reporting your supervisor is allowed to make a selection based solely on physical observation. The only way to override that is to end the refusal to report, supply your desired selection, and HR is required to report it that way.
Now if you apply for certain specific government programs, for example the Hawaiian Land Grant program, you may have to supply some documentation on ancestry. Those programs usually require a specific percentage of your genetic make-up is derived from certain stock. You can still claim to be Hawaiian, but if you don't have - for example - 1/4 of your genes from Hawaiian stock, you wouldn't qualify.
The NAACP is a private organization, who gives a rats ass what they think.
