Former student says Rachel Dolezal dismissed her as 'not Hispanic enough'
Published June 15, 2015



Rachel Dolezal, president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP, on March 2, 2015.

Embattled activist Rachel Dolezal, who was forced to resign from the NAACP for falsely portraying herself as black, reportedly once denied a college student participation in a class activity because she “didn’t look Hispanic enough.”

The student – who would rather remain anonymous – told BuzzFeed that she didn’t think much of the incident when it happened a few years ago. At the time Dolezal was a teacher at Eastern Washington University, located in Cheney, Wash.

“Now I wish I had said something, especially now that her race is the one people are questioning,” the student said.

A light-skinned Hispanic who grew up in a Spanish-speaking country, she raised her hand without qualms when Dolezal called for a student with Hispanic background to come to the front of the class, to take part in an activity she called “Fishbowl.” In it, the volunteer was to be asked questions by the rest of the class about her racial experiences.

“Rachel said I didn’t look Hispanic,” she told BuzzFeed. “[She] doubted that I could share experiences of racial or ethnic discrimination because I didn’t have the appearance of looking Hispanic.”

Dolezal then selected another volunteer and the class, an introduction to race and culture, went on.

Dolezal’s racial identity has sparked a furor in recent days after her parents revealed that the 37-year-old is of European and Native American descent.

She was forced to step down as head of Spokane's NACCP chapter following the controversy that ensued. In a statement released Monday, she called it a “true honor to serve” and said there were many urgent issues she wanted to address as head of the board, including police brutality, health inequities and political representation in minority communities.

“Yet, the dialogue has unexpectedly shifted internationally to my personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity,” she said in the statement. “I have waited in deference while others expressed their feelings, beliefs, confusions and even conclusions — absent the full story.”

Before her announcement, several members of the chapter's executive committee said they were planning to demonstrate to call for Dolezal to step down.

Dolezal was elected president of the local NAACP chapter about six months ago.

The NAACP had issued a statement Friday supporting Dolezal, who has been a longtime figure in Spokane's human-rights community and teaches African-African studies to college students.

The city of Spokane is investigating whether Dolezal lied about her ethnicity when she applied to be on the police board. According to the New York Times, on an application form she checked boxes identifying herself as white, black and Native American.

Police on Friday said they were suspending investigations into racial-harassment complaints filed by Dolezal, including one from earlier this year in which she said she received hate mail at her office.

Just look at this thread lol a chick I went to college with is caping hard for this lady. She said non sense like
-Rachel does more for the black community than anyone complaining
-black women who wear weave want to be white so why is it any different (even though she's black and wears weave herself)
-why can people accept Jenner but not her
-black people are mad that this white woman didn't use her white privilege to get where she is and actually had to work hard


I was disgusted. Pure ignorance

2015.... everyone wants to EXPOSE something / somebody. ...

exposure culture

nah... social media and the prevalence of information means that people expose themselves...

whereas in the past people could get away with ****

this chick rachel was doing TV interviews and ****...

she was talking about black men marrying outside their race on social media...

taking pictures dressed up in traditional african garb....

interviews talking about her black struggle...

all this info is only available because she created it...

she could have lived her whole life as a black woman if she just wanted to be a regular black person with a regular job....

but she needed that attention and prestige.... 

 

you didn't even know J.lo was puerto rican...

exposed yourself...

I know y'all can't be serious, taking up for this quack 

 I sincerely hope we haven't got that desperate for outside support, but wouldn't be completely surprised

The fact that a white woman can just flat out say that she's black,have a black child,sue a HBU for discrimination,disown her white parents,stop talking to her adopted black siblings,get a high position in the NAACP and get on television in front of everyone and say she identifies as black and it's OK TO DO JUST THAT.

If anything this example however crazy it might appear just goes to show how much power one specific group can have to swing either way at will,good or bad.

The NAACP was started by whites and that organization is more a thorn in our side than anything else they pick and choose what to stand up for that's going to make them look better instead of standing up for what's right,their never around before any injustices happen but are almost always the last to show up when there is some injustices done to black people and the list goes on and on.So I don't expect much from them as an organization to allow clearly a white woman to represent them which would be ok if she's the right person for that job but they didn't do their homework,at all.

As of right now she's standing her ground with her silly *** argument but when things get to hot what will she do?will she remain to claim that she is who she is and represent herself as a black person? or will she convert back to what she clearly distains,tuck her tail and play up to being a white damsel in distress?.However it plays out will determind how I shall view her,she's black and hopefully after it's over she still will be black.


Where do I sign up to be jewish at?is there any room left to be a Madoff,show me the money!.

 

[gwap]

will she remain to claim that she is who she is and represent herself as a black person? 

she's about to get racks on racks for interviews and appearances 

as long as she keeps claiming she's black... people will keep wanting to understand, networks will pull in numbers, she will get paid...

This story was very interesting at first but now it's just another celebrity grab....can't say I blame her, but this would stop being a story if she would just come out and say "I'm white, but I identify as black" and she knows it. Didn't rustle me at first, but now she can go **** herself
