What benefits did she scam? It's not illegal to claim to be a member of any race. When it comes to race, the U.S. Census allows you to self-identify. If racial tests even exist, no authority administers them (imagine the ugly comparisons to Nazi Germany that would open up).
Check "black" on an admissions application and dare someone to prove you wrong. And who's to say she doesn't have a single drop of black blood inside her? Who's to say any of us don't? Ask an anthropologist and we're all African! That's why I dearly love Rachel Dolezal. She personifies the absurdity of all this "self-identification" nonsense.
i think the same way.
