To be fair to Rachel Dolezal,

didn't Jeb Bush claiming to be Hispanic before he walked it back? But he actually put Hispanic on his voter registration.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/09/opinion/explaining-jeb-bushs-error.html?_r=0

The first thing to notice is that Mr. Bush made a very specific error. He did not declare himself African-American or Native American. He declared himself Hispanic. Mr. Bush’s wife is from Mexico. Might her Hispanic identity have played a role in his voter registration error?

So isn't it time for people to just be human? I'm in a state of confusion all the time because of my mixed parentage. Sometimes I'm all white or sometimes I'm another race, from Hispania, wherever the Hell that is.

She lied and put a fake photo of her dad up and got caught in an outright lie. I think Bush is just an idiot.

but several lies, including telling people that her brother was her son, her dad used to beat her with a baboon whip, that there was hate mail delivered to the NAACP mail box, which postal inspectors debunked, etc.
