Personally, I am hoping for a Steel Cage Death Match

Members of the feminist organization say a board member has only recently identified herself as Asian-American in an effort to boost her campaign.
This year’s board elections at the National Organization for Women were already poised to be tense: Allegations of racism at the highest levels of the feminist group have infuriated its membership and pitted current board members against one another. Now, the election is threatening to be completely upended by allegations that a candidate is claiming to be a woman of color in order to boost her election prospects.
NOW members told The Daily Beast they were shocked when BJ Star, a current board member, identified herself as Asian-American in campaign materials. Star, born Barbara Bencsik, had never identified herself as such in previous campaigns, and lists herself as white in voter registrations dating back to 1984. Multiple members said Star had not identified herself as a woman of color in past conversations about race or attended special meetings designed for women of color in NOW.
Despite this, Star’s bio on the candidates’ website now states that she intends to build NOW’s diversity membership “as Asian-American.” (Downloaded versions of the page show this line was added sometime between July 23 and Aug. 7.) According to emails obtained by The Daily Beast, Star personally told at least one woman that she intended to run as a woman of color.

“You can’t wear race like lipstick—one day you want to be red, one day you want to be black, one day you want to be brown,” said Triana Arnold-James, a Black woman and NOW member who is also running for the board. “I don’t appreciate her trying to use that to really keep true women of color out of leadership roles.”

florida woman blah blah blah
Asian, not WOC.
More of that white privilege.
“NOW: Nominally Oriental Women?”
Shouldn’t NOW be Not Only Women?
Only fair, right?
BJ Star... identified herself as Asian-American
Now, see, this is one of those times where FR's being a family site is just standing in the way of a good time.
Pass the popcorn
Just ask Liz Warren....
It's hilarious watching perpetually-aggrieved libtards fight each other to make sure that they can loudly virtue-signal that they were first to dab every intersectional space on their woke, anti-white, black power, genderqueer, body-dysphoric, demiboy, neutrois, two-spirit, transitioning, multi-binary, androgynous, pansexual, LGBTQWTFLOL, and BIPOC bingo cards.
Yes, she was a white woman pretending to be black woman and served in an official capacity at the NAACP.
So. Trying to claim “POC privilege”?
I made some sort of noise and then muted this idiot.
“You can’t wear race like lipstick—one day you want to be red, one day you want to be black, one day you want to be brown,”
Sure you can. If a man can declare himself a woman, a white person can claim to be black.
Even more so than sex, because while a person is either XX or XY by birth, a person’s racial makeup can be far more diverse through generations of intermarriage and such.
Is Brucie Jenner a member of NOW?

Standing in the way???
