Another one bites the dust

This is the fifth or sixth white woman to resign a professional or university position because of false claims of being black, or in this case, “Chicana.” 

From Legal Insurrection.

“...Kelly Kean Sharp ... recently resigned from Furman University after it was revealed that she is white, but has been identifying as Chicana." 

From an acquaintance: “She has made numerous tweets further implying Chicana identity, attaching various hashtags to communicate this identity, like #Chicana, #Chicanapride, and #Chingonasunite. Were these hashtags meant to further promote this claimed identity as a Chicana Assistant Professor? Even more, in one tweet Dr. Kean Sharp referenced the cooking habits of her ‘abuela’ and in another she claimed this ‘abuela’ came to the United States during WWII and ‘worked hard’ to make Kelly’s career possible.

Sharp was an assistant professor of African-American history at the South Carolina college.

I blame Iron Eyes Cody.
