In case you missed it, one Hannah Gann, a black Palestinian teacher with the Philadelphia School District, who wore the tablecloth known as a keffiyeh and was obnoxious in lecturing to others on morality, the oppression of Palestinians and overall virtue signaling, was outed as a poser. The revelation was done by members of the Racial Justice Organizing Committee and the Philly Educators for Palestine.

It turns out that Gann is not a Palestinian. She is also not black; she used makeup to appear blackish. In fact, she is a Jew. She is white. And her family is what is called settlers.
Right now, in the Oppression Olympics, or if you will, the minority totem pole, Palestinians and blacks are jockeying for top position. So she decided to be both, or rather pretend to be both.
This is not the first time that someone has passed themselves off as one of the glorious minorities that everyone must worship. Although we are constantly bombarded by propaganda screaming that America is suffused with “institutionalized racism” and “systemic racism,” there is an inherent contradiction in that so many liberals want to pass themselves off as a minority and, thusly, be “oppressed.”
But liberals are devoid of self-reflection.
As tempting as it is to provide a long, long list of liberal women — and it is always women, liberal women — I will just cite a few as further reminders:
Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American, though anyone looking at her blonde hair and blue eyes would have known she is as much Native American as I am Mongolian (by the way, you see a lot of these neurotic blue-eyed blondes in Washington State passing themselves off as Indians).
Then, there was Georgetown professor Jessica A. Krug who cosplayed being “black.” Also a professor passing herself of as black — and a leader of NAACP — was Nkechi Amare Diallo, whose name was as fake as her frizzy hair and whose name was, in reality, Rachel Anne Dolezal. She got too caught up in her alter ego and committed welfare fraud.
Elizabeth Hoover, a professor UC Berkeley was found to be a fake Native American. But it did help her get a job in academia. Just like the others above. “The problem is that Hoover has spent her entire career using her false claim of being descended from the Mohawk and Mi’kmaq peoples of eastern Canada and the United States to excel in academia. [S]he won prestigious jobs, grants and fellowships, published books and papers and became a mover and shaker in the ‘food sovereignty’ movement.” It’s a terrible thing to be discriminated against. So many doors are shut to you.

Remember Sacheen Littlefeather (if you’re that old) at the Academy Award. She was no Native American. And speaking of Hollywood fakes — let me be more precise, fake Indians in Hollywood — there was Heather Rae Bybee.
Raquel Saraswati, born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel and said she was Arab, was outed by her mother as being pure white and is no longer the chief equity and inclusion officer for the American Friends Service Committee.
Buffy Sainte-Marie was expelled from the Order of Canada for not being indigenous as she claimed. Paperwork will catch up with you. Well, at least she didn’t claim to be a vampire slayer.
If you are an author and have navigated the list of literary agent clones, you know that if you claim to be a minority you are in like Flinn. Erika Wurth claimed to be Native American and got her book published.
I could go on, of course. By now, it should be obvious that being classified as a minority has its many advantages, particularly when it involves liberals.
But I would also like to bring your attention that the majority of people cosplaying as blacks, or Native Americans, or Jews are liberal women. And, as has been pointed out, and research confirms, liberal women are profoundly neurotic.
