[quote=Anonymous]Here’s what pisses me off: she took advantage of individuals’ niceness AND made a mockery of POC in academia. If someone tells me they are Latina/White/AA/Asian, I’m not going to question it. 98% of Americans are good natured and will accept at face value. We are a country of immigrants filled with centuries of interracial relations (both consensual and nonconsensual). Mixed race ancestry is NORMAL in our country. Even people who think they are white will likely have other races/ethnicities mixed in their DNA and won’t discovered it until they do a genetic test.

She essentially took advantage of an American cultural practice where we let people live the identity they were told from birth. She took advantage of everyone - fellow academics, students, employers, friends - who just accepted her for who she was. She has done irreparable damage to institutional trust and POC who are trying to compete at elite levels and who often don’t get a fair shake. It’s disgusting.
