I guess there is such a thing as carrying a lie just a little too far. She'd probably have been fine if she hadn't gotten addicted to the attention garnered by being the face of the agency there.
Sad part is, even when they're pretending to be black, the white girls catch all the breaks.
I can also see her having been subjected to hate crimes even as a white person, because perception is reality and if she was perceived as black someone might have treated her as such. Is there such a thing as "self-inflicted" hate crime? Or does it fall under the repugnant rape-culture credo of "well if she didn't DRESS that way, it wouldn't have happened."
Culture appropriation is nothing new. I think aside from embarrassment at the hands of her family, who I think are assholes btw, her biggest issue is going to be the legal documents she may have signed in order to gain undeserved privileges.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
