If a white person with a decent tan identifies himself as black or Hispanic when applying for college or for a job, how can the employer or college possibly question it without running the risk of offending the person and inviting a backlash?

That's stereotyping. Who says any ethnic group has any certain look?
I went to middle school with a guy I thought was black for half a year. Was friends with his brother and his little sister was kinda cute, they were typically Caucasian. Didn't even realize they were related, and they had been DNA tested, same parents, both Caucasian. Les (his name)though had an afro, more rounded end of nose and was semi dark skinned. Blew my mind when I connected the 3 kids as being one parentage. Actually all 3 looked a lot different from one another.
ETA: Found his yearbook pic from 7th grade, kinda blurry as iphone pic of old pic:
