The Curious Case of Rachel Dolezal (4)

"The city of Spokane, Washington, has opened an investigation into whether Rachel Dolezal, the president of the local chapter of the NAACP, lied about her race when she identified herself as African-American on her application to serve on the citizen police ombudsman commission, thereby violating the city’s code of ethics.

In addition to serving as the chair of the police commission and president of the local NAACP chapter—which the Spokesman Review credits her with revitalizing—Dolezal works as an adjunct faculty member at Eastern Washington University."

Identifying with a race or ethnicity that isn't yours is one thing. But lying, deceiving, or otherwise misrepresenting your race or ethnicity is quite another thing. This is definitely a curious case!
