Raquel Evita Saraswati, Activist who claimed Arab, South Asian, Latin descent, outed by her own mom: ‘White as driven snow’
NY POST ^ | February 21, 2023 | By Yaron Steinbuch

The senior inclusion officer of a Philadelphia-based social justice group has been lying about her ethnic identity for years — claiming she is a woman of color despite being “as white as the driven snow,” her mother alleges.

Raquel Evita Saraswati, 39, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is the chief equity, inclusion and culture officer of the American Friends Service Committee, which fights “violence, inequality and oppression,” the Intercept reported.

The Muslim activist, who has access to files of the progressive Quaker group’s workers and volunteers, has claimed for years to be of Latin, South Asian and Arab descent.

But her mother, Carol Perone, said Saraswati is actually of British, German and Italian descent.

“I call her Rachel. I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing,” Perone told the Intercept. “I’m as white as the driven snow and so is she.”

She 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.”

But it pays good money. And if she didn’t do this fraud, somebody else would.
My guess is over 100 thousand per year.

My vote is for a black trans, wheel chair bound, lezbian and Thespian to replace her in this vital “yob”

Deceit and envy are easy for leftist. It’s part of the socialist DNA.

So in today’s world, if you claim that you are the other sex, denying the hard evidence of the genes that are in every cell, you are worshiped as a saint.

But if you deny your ancestry and claim to have a non-White ancestry when you’re don’t, you are condemned and hated.

Insanity.

Maybe, just maybe, she is 1/1024 ‘of color’.

Only Lizzy Warren knows for sure.

The money is definitely pretty good.

Plus the job is cushy, low effort, you don’t have to manage others, and the criteria for evaluating your performance are either non-existent/unavailable for consideration, or based on circular reasoning.

You can be born a man, but the Left says you can choose to be a woman and give birth to a baby.

But being a white person and just “deciding” to be a minority is a serious crime. You can’t just say things that are untrue.

White Supremacy is so real that plenty of people lie about their ethnicity in order to be an “oppressed” person instead of being privileged for some reason.

“I call her Rachel. I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing,

Because there is no such thing as white privilege. In fact, it pays to not be white.

“the American Friends Service Committee”

Ah, the Quakers, perennial tools of the commies. But at least they gave us Nixon.

Mom heard one too many snarky comments at Christmas dinner, methinks.
