Remember Spokane NAACP president Rachel Dolezal? She said she was white, black, and American Indian, but in 2015 the African studies prof. was outed as Czech, Swedish, and German. Another Lizard Warren. There’s another one.
Dolezal tried to hang on by claiming to be trans-racial (I called her trans-Rachel), but she quickly fell from grace. A few months later, Dartmouth College had to deal with its own Pretendian, Susan Taffe Reed. Another white chick in identity politics drag. Not to be outdone by “Two-spirit” Kay LeClaire, who called herself “nibiiwakamigkwe” and founded a “queer Indigenous artists’ collective.” She’s a white chick, too, and might not be queer.
All white women pretending to be people of color, working at universities and/or as activists, and here’s another one.
Raquel Evita Saraswati, a Muslim activist who for years has encouraged people to believe that she is a woman of color, including Latina as well as of South Asian and Arab descent, is the AFSC’s chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer, a senior position that gives her access to the files of dozens of the organization’s staff and volunteers. But Saraswati, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is not a person of color, according to her mother, Carol Perone.
“I call her Rachel,” Perone told The Intercept, when reached by telephone. “I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing.”
Saraswati, her mother added, is of British, German, and Italian descent — not Latina, South Asian, or Arab. “I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she,” added Perone, …
Another transracial trans-Rachel, a liberal white girl pretending, though she is Muslim, just not Arab-Latina. And I’m not sure how roiled “the community” is about that. The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) that employs her.
“We are in receipt of the documentation alleging that our Chief Equity, Inclusion, and Culture Officer, Raquel Saraswati, has been misrepresenting her identity. AFSC has given Raquel the opportunity to address the allegations against her, and Raquel stands by her identity. Raquel also assures us that she remains loyal to AFSC’s mission, which we firmly believe.” The statement added that “AFSC does not require any employee to ‘prove’ their heritage as a condition of their employment, or in order to be valued as a member of our team.”
I can’t see any reason why an Equity Inclusion and Culture chief can’t be another dishonest liberal white chick. Most Diversity ‘chiefs’ operate on the basis of fraud and disinformation already, so it would be refreshing to see AFSC own it. But I’m not certain the other dishonest liberals would agree. Rachel is descended from colonialist stock, including that reprehensible Columbus fellow. That’s something of a thrown in the Left paw if you take my meaning.
And how do the Islamofascists feel about a queer Muslim, and is she even queer?
