I am familiar with her. but she is a bit of a problem individual. Ex: She took a picture with a black man and then claimed him to be her father, among many other deceptions that were part of the image she projected. Race, being a social construct, has many instances of inconsitencies. There is a book titled “The history of white people” that looks at the how the people that were and were not considered “wite” changed over time. Even something such as a religious conviction could affect someone’s classification. The same people may find themselves in different racial categories in different countries. Or two siblings, born to the same parents, might be classified differently by society.The self-classification has it’s own problems. (look up Rachel Dolezal) for an example.
My sister worked with a girl that was from a country in South Asia. The girl had dark brown skin. Where the girl was from, racial classification was dependent on the race classification of the father. Thus, the girl would tell people that she was a white person because her father is white.
