Everyone constantly calls out the Kardashians for cultural appropriation. And they don’t even pretend they’re black - just pick and choose what they like from the culture while talking about their Armenian heritage.

This woman’s actions have taken opportunities from actual minorities.

This. Her faculty position was a diversity spot. She's also won awards meant for POC.

The Kardashians are the worst role models, or whatever you can call them, for anyone. Armenians are white and not remotely close to being African in any way. They need to quietly retire from society.

She's at GW so I wonder where she lives and what her neighbors think.

Ok, so what do you suggest? Jail time?

PP. She should lose her ill-gotten tenured faculty position, for starters.

This discussion between Black scholars Melissa Harris-Perry and Allyson Hobbs is a few years old, but it's amazing. They discuss how Rachel Dolezal in the context of narratives of racial passing: https://www.msnbc.com/melissa-harris-perry/watch/rachel-dolezal-and-the--politics-of-passing--463796291727

Fine, then just leave her alone. Let her move on and get the help she obviously needs. No point in bullying her.

Mental illness.

Krug admits it herself:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/education/2020/09/03/white-gwu-professor-admits-she-falsely-claimed-black-identity/%3foutputType=amp

I think she came clean for more drama and attention.

It’s like “the woman who wasn’t there” and pretending to be a 9/11 survivor.

Oh, come on. How convenient to blame mental illness. This is a disservice to those who really have mental illness, but don't contrive a whole identity in order to further their careers. It was working well for her until folks finally caught on and got ready to expose her.

Ok, so fire her and move on to the next complaint...

Oh please, this woman’s an obvious sociopath. She’s probably lying about the mental illness and childhood trauma too. She was writing pieces online pretending to be a black Latina right up until she was about to be exposed earlier this week.

Ok...so what should the consequences be? Fire her. Should she pay a hefty fine? Community service? House arrest? Jail time? Or should we just bully her indefinitely?

Didn't we decide in another thread that race is a socially construct, like gender, and you can decide what race you belong to (like Obama, or Elizabeth Warren).

WTH do you mean “bully” her? Do you know what an Internet dragging is? It’s karma. I’m just praying she doesn’t profit from this like Rachel Dolezal did.

Precisely. So many people are just LARP-ing these days. Affirmative action provides an incentive. People respond to incentives. Now please pass the Pow Wow Chow!
