prominent human rights lawyer and former president of the National Lawyers Guild has admitted that she is not Latina, but in fact a white woman from Georgia.
Natasha Lycia Ora Bannan, senior counsel at the Latino Justice Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, claimed Puerto Rican and Colombian heritage, according to Prism.

When a person uses “Latinx,” you know they’re loo-loo.
Hey...it got her in to law school.
I am Baron Michael so please refer to me as Lord Michael from now on.....hee hee
The idea that minorities are oppressed in the US is laughable. There are way too many cases like this of people adopting a minority identity for the social, economic, and political benefits.

Not that it matters, but Musk just passed Bezos.
If she gained college or law school admissions, employment or clients based on her claimed identity, it’s fraud. She knows this, the world at large knows this, but in spite of the knowledge, nothing will be done about it.
