Race Hustlers Part IV – White Ladies
We all remember the day Rachel Dolezal broke the internet in 2015, but at this point is it even surprising when we hear about a white lady pretending to be Black or Puerto Rican or Spanish? What drives a person to lie about something as fundamental as their racial or cultural identity? Today we're dissecting the appropriations and the non-apologies from Dolezal to Hilary "I vacationed once in Spain so I am Spanish" Baldwin - all for your listening pleasure. Huge thanks to all the wonderful guests who joined us for this episode!! Elena Romero - fashion, hip hop, and Latinx journalist. Elisa Prosperetti - visiting professor of history at Mount Holyoke College. Lauren Michele Jackson - author of White Negroes. Follow Lauren on Twitter @proseb4bros for more thoughts on culture and cultural appropriation.
