I knew a white person who changed their last name to Martinez and began to TRY and act Latino. They even had the audacity to tell me to speak English when I was yelling abuse at them in Spanish. They dont even look remotely Latino, but people still buy this "trans racial" BS and dont actually see it as white privilege gone insane.

I find it funny that she can't work at the NAACP because she lied about being white to get a job, she wasn't black.
She is omitted from a diversity summit, and she was essentially fired because she was the wrong color.
Oh a main issue at the diversity summit is solving racism????
I would not find it obscure in the least. I also would find the firing of those 2 people questionable i mean sure they can claim they can fire them because they had not been truthful but that does not mean that they actually have to do that. I would find their motives to fire someone in such a case questionable.

One question,
If a large civil right org that is for the forwarding of white people hired someone and they checked the white box on the app. Then the civil rights org. found out they were not white and had 2 black parents and fired him. Do you think that this would be an obscure news report?

Same goes for this case there is no difference. I find the woman in question a basket case for trying to be black but then again there are also a lot and even more known cases of black people wanting and trying to be white and bleaching their skin. I dont think they should have fired her over this it makes them look racist but at the same time she has issues and she lied so there is also ample reason to do so.
Yolanda Spivey is an African American woman, she was unemployed for two years, and had applied for over 300 jobs to no avail — despite a having a decade’s worth of experience in the insurance industry, and a college degree. Spivey wrote in Techyville that as an experiment, she first started “declining to state” her ethnicity on Monster.Com’s Diversity Questionnaire, but that had no effect. Spivey then created a fake profile, with identical information, except that her fictitious job candidate was white, and was aptly named “Bianca White” (Bianca means “white” in Spanish). Suddenly, responses from employers came pouring in.
But most do not claimed to be white with the exception of those passing

And you never stopped to realize that it maybe is a lot harder for a black person to make themselves look white then it is for a white person to make themselves look black? Pretty sure that if those black people who have been bleaching themselves would have gone all the way had they had a realistic option.
