If one can magically change gender, what not “race”? It’s just a state of mind.
Any fool can see she's not black. She's just a white woman who spent too much time in a tanning bed.

Sheesh. If you’re trolling for hits, start off with better clickbait that someone we’ve known about for years.
When they are caught they always say their actions “were to spark a conversation”.
In a world with reasonable attitudes about race, it would merely be a silly eccentricity.

The Madison arts leader known as “nibiiwakamigkwe” claimed to be of Native American and Cuban heritage while running an Indigenous and queer tattoo parlor.
WTF?
If a man can declare himself a woman, and a woman can declare herself a man, then a person of European background can claim to be from one of those countries that give you special privileges, preference in hiring, free college tuition, and the ability to blame Whiteys for your failures.
Reality: The country of origin of your parents/grandparents should not determine whether you are worshiped or demonized.
Will Shaun King’s parents ever speak out?
Yup, so many whites pretending to be colored people.
Add this fakir category to that of Halfricans Who ID as All Black.
Where is that privilege, again?
The orange fake tan is a pretty good giveaway on a few of these. Of course, Trump uses it too, but he doesn’t claim to be a minority!
“sharing my understanding of my family’s history”
Hahaha, the old Lizzie Warren “family lore” excuse. Gotta love it.
One of my mothers best friends married a man who already had a daughter from a previous marriage. This girl was white skinned with curly blonde hair (and a few years older than me).
Decades pass and around the 1990s she marries a black man. I haven’t seen her in person since before her marriage. But as I understand it, it’s a happy, long lasting marriage as she’s still married to this day (and she’s had a couple kids who are both black skinned).
But when I look at photos of her today on her Facebook and Instagram accounts, she resembles a light skinned black woman. Her white skin seems tanned and her curly blonde hair has been replaced with a darker, black color and the curls are gone, her hair looking all frizzy. She doesn’t verbally identify herself as black (as far as I know), but she’s obviously trying to pull the look off.
Of course, the Spanish are caucasian, but the Hilaria Baldwin case is interesting. Supposedly, both her father and grandfather studied Spanish and traveled to Spanish-speaking countries. So, she was taught to speak Spanish, her family vacationed in Spain, and eventually her parents moved there.
Somewhere in all that, she must've gotten the message that Spanish was the best thing to be.
Sometimes people adopt a new accent when they move somewhere else, but Hilaria took it to the extreme.
Funny, I had a conversation with someone the other day... We both know people who lie to everyone about their lives, to the extreme. I guess they're unhappy with their mundane existence. So, they lie about money and success, but their stories are grandiose to the point of ridiculous. Then, there are other liars who tell you they're dying when they're not even sick. The people who lie about their race/ethnicity seem to be cut from the same cloth.
They just caught another fake Cherokee woman too that’s been scamming for a long time including the tribe themselves. Heather something or another. Already in the news
