Some years ago a white woman conned folks into thinking she was black and fooled them. Why would anyone try to con folks about identity?

In that great movie GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT a gentile passes himself off as Jewish because he is a journalist and is writing  story about what it's like to be Jewish. He lives as a Jew for 6 months and the different types of bigotry from subtle to blatant stuns him. But that pretense was PURPOSEFUL.

Why does anyone pretend to be or think or believe what is untrue? Have you?
