What is wrong with these people, just like Rachel Dolezal

A professor of African and Latin American studies who portrayed herself as Black has now revealed she has been lying.

Jessica A. Krug, an associate professor at George Washington University, has written extensively about Africa, Latin America, the diaspora and identity, all while claiming her own Black and Latina heritage. But in an article published on Medium.com on Thursday, Krug revealed the truth: She is White.

A doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued a public apology this week after accusations emerged online that they were presenting as a person of color despite being mostly of Italian ancestry.

CV Vitolo-Haddad — who uses they/them pronouns — wrote in a Medium post Sunday that they resigned from a teaching position and stepped down as co-president of UW-Madison's chapter of the Teaching Assistants’ Association graduate workers' union. Vitolo-Haddad was also at one point director of the school's speech and debate team.

A slightly more invested Google search — prompted by my unease at the traction this person is gaining as a trusted (and I’m sure, in many people’s minds, Black) leader in the Madison community — reveals that they grew up in a purely Italian family. Though I feel it would be invasive to post images of their family members given that they have not chosen to be part of CV’s racial performance, publicly available obituaries indicate that all four of their grandparents (the same grandparents they claimed to be part of an “anticolonial struggle”) are white Italians. Their mother (the same mother whose accent they allegedly mocked) grew up in New York.

Moreover, despite criticisms I have heard them make of middle class organizers, they grew up in a 1.5 million dollar home in Florida with a property developer father, went to an expensive private high school, and, according to old Facebook comments from a family member of theirs, lived an economically privileged life:
