This hits close...
It makes me think of all these ridiculously Caucasian people that I have to interact with on a daily basis that claim to be "Native American." It's really, REALLY hard not to make a point of the ridiculousness of the whole thing. Maybe I'm just bitter because I can't get away with saying it, due in part to my very Northern European heritage. I could also be jealous of their ability to get a tan, as opposed to my ability to burn.
