CV Vitolo-Haddad resigned from a teaching position at the University of Wisconsin-Madison after admitting to presenting as Black even though they are mostly of Italian ancestry.

"I am Southern Italian/Sicilian. In trying to make sense of my experiences with race, I grossly misstepped and placed myself in positions to be trusted on false premises," Vitolo-Haddad wrote. "I went along with however people saw me. I over-identified with unreliable and unproven family history and latched onto anything I remembered growing up."Medium post

The post came one day after Jessica Krug — a white associate professor of history at George Washington University who also earned "Race, after all, is slippery and racialization is not just about what is immediately visible, a fact I now believe CV has taken advantage of as they slide themselves further into spaces of Black identity and political organizing that do not belong to them."

"UW-Madison expects that people represent themselves authentically and accurately in all aspects of their academic work," McGlone said.

She should move to Massachusetts and get a political career of wealth and fame like ewarren

Kinda like Pocahontas Warren 😂😂

Wait until people hear about the origins of pizza.

So what? Not a fan of these things, but if a person can identify of being of the opposite sex even though not having the DNA to substantiate it, why in the hell not being able to identify as of another race/ethnicity?

It does not even look black, who is actually falling for this?

We have accepted (or tolerated) a world where men identify as women and women as men. NYC Mayor Bill deBlasio clearly identifies as black. Who's to say. Of course it shouldn't matter - there should be no preferences for anyone.

I'm always suspicious of those who use 'they' to describe themselves...

Yet Pocahontas still holds her degree. 🤔

What benefit was obtained by doing that

University of Wisconsin-Madison grad student admits pretending to be a person of colorA graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has resigned from a teaching position after admitting on social media that they falsely claimed to be a person of color. It's possible as a person of Sicilian heritage that she has more African DNA than a Black person descended from slaves in the US. But that's not the same thing as culture and racial identity. I thought being a person of color was a disadvantage in America. Why are all these people pretending to be a person of color? You notice they all gained from the lie? Why would you want that
