Kysymys olikin enemmän siitä, jääkö parodiahorisontti ylittymättä noilla kovimman tason ihmisoikeusaktivisteilla...

Ei niillä suurta eroa olekaan, mutta tämä trolli antaa ajoittain pieniä vihjeitä, ettei ole aivan tosissaan

Taas uusi transetnistapaus paljastunut ja tämäkin joku etnoaktivisti:

AFSC Diversity Leader Misrepresented Her Own Identity
https://theintercept.com/2023/02/16/american-friends-service-committee-raquel-saraswati/

The controversy at the American Friends Service Committee puts a spotlight on the "diversity and equity" industry's shortcomings.

MEMBERS OF THE American Friends Service Committee, a prominent Quaker organization known for its progressive values and social justice advocacy in the U.S. and abroad, have raised an alarm about a woman holding a leadership position within the organization who they say has misrepresented her ethnic background for years and who they fear may be working on behalf of groups seeking to undermine their organization

Raquel Evita Saraswati, a Muslim activist who for years has encouraged people to believe that she is a woman of color, including Latina as well as of South Asian and Arab descent, is the AFSC's chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer, a senior position that gives her access to the files of dozens of the organization's staff and volunteers. But Saraswati, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is not a person of color, according to her mother, Carol Perone.

"I call her Rachel," Perone told The Intercept, when reached by telephone. "I don't know why she's doing what she's doing."

Saraswati, her mother added, is of British, German, and Italian descent — not Latina, South Asian, or Arab. "I'm as white as the driven snow and so is she," added Perone, who also shared with The Intercept photos of Saraswati as a child. In the photos, which the mother asked not be published, Saraswati's complexion is significantly lighter than the bronzed look in more recent photographs.
...
Oskar Pierre Castro, a human resources professional who participated in the search committee to fill Sarawati's position, told The Intercept that she had presented herself as a "queer, Muslim, multiethnic woman."

"It really touched all the points," said Castro, who works for Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, a Quaker group that frequently partners with the AFSC, and who was involved in the search along with AFSC staff members.
...
Castro added, "In my mind it was, 'Great, a person of color, a queer person of color, who happens to be a Muslim, it's a woman, all these things, and someone who seemed to get it. I definitely feel conned. ... I feel deceived."
...
There is a history of white people posing as persons of color or claiming ethnic backgrounds they do not have. In 2015, a national controversy erupted following the revelation that Rachel Dolezal, a white woman, had for years posed as Black before becoming president of an NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington. Others have claimed roots they don't have; more recently, Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., falsely claimed Jewish descent, among a host of other lies.
...
"Imagine the trauma of people who confided in her, trusted her, and shared sensitive information about their work and about their lives, thinking that she's a fellow person of color," the AFSC leader said, referring to Saraswati. "And now all of a sudden, it's a white woman with a right-wing history. It's scary."
...
Many organizations have responded to the national reckoning on racism and criticism of their lack of representation and equity by hiring consultants and experts to advise them. That rush has helped elevate those claiming expertise even when their credentials — and in Saraswati's case, her very ethnic background — are in question.

"DEI is becoming a multibillion-dollar industry: corporations, companies, nonprofits," the AFSC leader told The Intercept. "The data shows a tiny percentage of the directors are Black. And now you have white people in brown face getting into DEI positions, with its salary, resources, and power."

Saeed told The Intercept in an email that the Saraswati controversy is an indictment of the diversity, equity, and inclusion industry's shortcomings and "puts a sharp, bright light on ... the DEI industry itself — did AFSC not vet their candidates, like Raquel?"

Hyvin suunniteltu huijaus.

OT: ennen muinoin, ehkä vielä toisen maailmansodan aikaan, eräät vaaleaihoiset mustat teeskentelivät olevansa valkoisia saadakseen paremman elämän. Nyt on pöytä kääntynyt, ja valkoiset joutuvat teeskentelemään olevansa mustia saadakseen ihmisarvoisen elämän.

Rakkaus ja rasismi ovat ikuisia, vain kohde muuttuu.
