And it doesn't matter that modern Italy was, in fact, the country that in Roman times invented the Latin language.
That should make them more Latino than any other group but, somehow, it does not. And no leftist even feels the need to explain why. Why??
Saraswati, according to The Intercept, “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.” But Raquel/Rachel’s mom, Carol Perone, was unequivocal: “I call her Rachel. I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing.” Perone added: “I’m German and British, and her father was Calabrese Italian. She’s chosen to live a lie, and I find that very, very sad.”
Mama Perone continued: “I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she.” Perone even showed The Intercept childhood photos of Rachel; they showed the future queer, multiethnic Muslima to have a “complexion is significantly lighter than the bronzed look in more recent photographs.” The one thing that appears genuine about Raquel Evita Saraswati is that her mother confirmed that her daughter converted to Islam while in high school.
