A graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has apologized and resigned from their teaching job and worker’s union leadership position after years of embracing “lies” about their racial identity.

CV Vitolo-Haddad, who uses the non-binary pronouns “they” and “them,” admitted that they are actually Southern Italian and Sicilian — not black or Latino, which are both labels they accepted when peers allegedly assumed they were a person of color.

“When asked if I identify as black, my answer should have always been ‘No,’ ” Vitolo-Haddad wrote Sept. 8 in the second of two confessions on Medium. “There were three separate instances I said otherwise.” Vitolo-Haddad, who has railed against conservatives’ views about race, declined an interview

Getting to the point where minorities will need a genuine government-issued “RACE CARD”.

“When asked if I identify as black, my answer should have always been ‘No.’”

Why don’t “they” use “we” and “our” when referring to, uh, themselves?

I am not sure but I used to find it really funny back when I was a faceless cog in a corporate machine to be lectured about being racially and economically advantage by someone who was several shades lighter and a whole lot richer then I was.

Some time around 2012 it quit being funny and I started getting annoyed.

Then I left corporate.

Probably helped my blood pressure considerably.

If she can identify as a “they” and “them” why can’t she identify as black, orange or purple?

I would like to start identifying as a rich 30 year old athlete.

The company I used to work for released a transgender bathroom policy paper.
That was towards my end of employment...

If you can “identify” as a man or woman at will, and you can make yourself a plural, why can’t you identify as black? Remember the movie, “Breaking Away,” in which some kid identified as Italian?

So, if someone whose genes are XY, self identifies as a homosexual who self identifies as a lesbian, do they get all the political benefits of homosexuality, while dating women?

All this ‘sexual identification’ is SOOO confusing!

If you went by television, all Blacks are married and the husband is a CFO or Chemical Engineer.

That must be why libtards are so big on bi-racial marriage . . . easier for a white lib to lie about their race to get a job.
