The counter-move to this ruling is for all white people to claim some other ethnicity in every case where it would provide some benefit.
Let them prove you are not whatever ethnicity you care to claim to be.
Can do the same with gender if it comes to that.
If everyone is officially black (even if for this purpose only)... well, that makes it impossible to enact affirmative action programs, doesn’t it?
The fun part comes when they try to put together a test to sort out who is legally of which ethnicity - an impossible feat, that, if attempted, will wholly destroy the racial spoils system.
Yes, you can even use the left's language against them, "Yeah I may be a white male, but I identify as a Black Female Lesbian." The left has been pushing this view that everyone else has to respect what you "identify" as rather than what you really are, so no good leftist is ever going to argue with you, you've boxed them into their own PC trap. Of course the other path is the Elizabeth Warren one, were you get a DNA test and discover that you 1% Indian or Black or something, then you claim affirmative action benefits because of that.
“The counter-move to this ruling is for all white people to claim some other ethnicity in every case where it would provide some benefit.”
Correct.

Sure. If mentally ill people can "identify" with the opposite gender, rational people can "identify" as whatever gender or race they wish.
What would really throw these people is for an obviously white man to "identify" as a black female. They may try to balk at the racial "identification", but they dare not balk at the "gender" identification.
I predict the time will come when we have to confront these people with fists, baseball bats, and guns.
