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.”

Something about that name, I guess.
We should start an annual award:
Senator Elizabeth Warren High Cheekbones Award for faking minority status for career advancement.
Get a metal that is 1/2046th Troy ounce of gold
Medal!
She’s got that look of that other white chick who thought she was “of color”.
“..... has claimed for years to be of Latin, South Asian and Arab descent.”
She is speaking from all the attached spirits acquired through her wild rompts, drugs, and dark adventures.
It is really sad and pathetic to see these people faking their identity. But, apparently it’s now acceptable behavior nowadays. The list of people lying about their identity in history, from Biden on down is long.

Because you were !
Whites of low economic standing have been claiming “blackness” for decades. It helps up the grifting from the gubmint trough. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s many got paper “divorces” as a mom with children and no hubby could make bank off of govt largess. It improved the tax bracket, paid big welfare “dividends’ and garnered darn near free healthcare.

Thanks and I believe it! They were copying their black female friends on this scam.
We got a name for them.

The whole thing comes back to “Essence Before Existence”, a philosophical notion which took root in the 40s and gained traction in the 60s. The idea is that one can determine one’s own essence and that act of will takes priority over “existence”, or the rigid physical conditions we were born into, which is another way of saying reality. Hence, if we want to be something badly enough, be it a different sex or race, that’s what we really are.
That’s one.
When you have a hiring caste system people will adapt and learn how to lie.
Black and White, are now basically cultural constructs, rather than based on skin color.
A person with black skin who is ambitious and applies themself, and is a good family person is considered “white”.
