Woman falsifies racial identity, blames parents for 'outing' her

So, a woman who has made a whole career out of claiming to belong to a minority group has been outed as actually being white.

Of course the article frames it as though the only reason it's an issue is because her mean parents have outed her in revenge of her supporting her brother's accuser over her brother.

Funny how the comments section is overwhelmingly against her.  Given that the bulk of the population would be mad at her, it's easy to see why:

• African-American (or Black as she calls them) people are mad that she is taking a (presumably well paid) position that should be reserved for a person of the same.
• White people are mad that she's claiming victim-hood, whilst still not really belonging to the group she's claiming to belong to.

It'll be interesting to see whether this woman will now get an actual real job or if she'll pick up where she left off, this time arguing for the rights of trans-racial people.

I guess the (over?) reaction of people is partly the same as would be if you got a girl home from a bar only to find that she was born a man and hadn't had surgery.  Would you be sexist, misogynistic or homophobic by kicking the 'girl' out of your house or would you be following through with every person's right to turn away someone at any point who had not truthfully represented them self?

Interestingly enough, the definition of rape has been expanded to include misleading women (think Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother) but there are people who don't think that transgendered people should be held to the same standards.

I don't know, I think if it's good for the gander, it's good for the goose that used to be a gander.
