Rachel Dolezal Once Told A Student She Did Not Look Hispanic Enough For A Class Activity
The student said that the incident occurred within the first three weeks of an introductory course on race and culture. Dolezal introduced an activity she called “Fishbowl,” in which one student sat in front of the class as others were invited to ask them questions about their racial and cultural experiences.
In the first round of Fishbowl, the student said Dolezal sought out a volunteer of Hispanic background to be questioned.
The student, who told BuzzFeed News that she identifies as Hispanic, grew up in a Spanish-speaking country, speaks the language fluently, and, while she has light skin, believes she has a “pretty solid experience of what it’s like to be Spanish.” She raised her hand to participate.
“I think we should ask another student,” the student recalled Dolezal saying in class.
The student asked why she could not participate.
“Rachel said I didn’t look Hispanic,” she said, and that her instructor “doubted that I could share experiences of racial or ethnic discrimination because I didn’t have the appearance of looking Hispanic.”

If this is accurate, the woman is not qualified to teach ethnic studies classes.
Cameron Diaz is Hispanic.
David Ortiz is Hispanic.
Alberto Fujimori is Hispanic.
The Pope, with two Italian parents, is Hispanic:
Being Hispanic is a lot like being an American from the USA--you can look like anyone!
I'm beginning to think Rachel is more of a pathological lying dumbass versus being mentally unstable.
And yes I HATE the "you don't look x enough" crap that some people fling at minorities to invalidate their experiences and identity.
