If you are of Romanian descent, it might be easy to conceal that from people (outsiders wouldn't know it unless you told them),

and in general you may never mention it. However, suppose you're at a job interview and your prospective boss mentions that she's Romanian. Suddenly, it becomes very useful for you to mention that you are too: now you have something in common! What term best describes this scenario?
