I work with a guy who, much like this woman, has a self image that does not match his outward appearance. A few weeks ago we had our company wellness screenings; height, weight, blood draw, etc. He's an avid runner who is a few inches shorter than me and was going on and on about how the height weight chart puts his weight right at ideal for his height; 154 at 5'8".
I look down at him to make eye contact and laugh.
I'm 5'7".
For what it's worth I don't think she looks good with curly hair. Alex Kingston is another story!
The funny part is those trying to paint any discourse about this as right vs left.
You should go ask the people the naacp "stand for" what they think. I guarantee it won't be nice things :p
Here's an interesting article on the ethics of the situation (which is what's worth discussing here IMO):

I'm just gonna sit back and see how things go with "trans-ethnicity." Fully divorcing identity from biology is a big deal.
In reply to GameboyRMH:
My wife pointed out that trans-ethnicicty is not unprecedented:

MJ changed race, and possibly gender, why can't someone else?
Actually it turned out he had a disease that caused his skin to change color, so it's not really the same thing. While he was alive everyone thought the disease was a cover story for doing typical king-of-weirdos stuff.

I'm sorry, but berkeley you CNN:
Was she aesthetically driven? Dolezal claims that she has been in love with black aesthetics since childhood. The decision to adopt a black female aesthetic for herself is a political act given that Americans in general assume black women are not aesthetically as desirable as white women. Yet, others reduce her aesthetic choices to mere cultural appropriation.
I can like whatever the hell I feel like. Just because this woman decided to lie and be deceitful does NOT reflect on society as a whole. The problem with all of this bullE36 M3 going on lately is that anyone is free to choose who they associate with and who/how they judge.
It feels like we are going to be in minority report soon, except instead of for criminal thoughts, it will simply be because you disagree with the liberal mindset.
you see the story where she sued Howard college for discrimination; favouring black students' applications over hers?
If that's true it just gets better and better.
yeah ran by abc, where i saw it

Now she's suggested that she's not genetically related to her parents...suuuure.

Edit: Also turns out she's not just "transracial" but also bisexual:

She'll be rich after this, she's like an overpowered glitch character for a company's diversity stats 
Member of another forum said:
If she identifies as black, I identify as a microwave - you put food in and E36 M3 comes out.
I found this on another forum. I thought I'd share it with you guys.

Why are aw talking about this?
Cause it's freakin hilarious, that's why.
After the incident that occurred in Charleston, SC last night I only wish that having members of one race feel aligned with another so much that they falsely identify themselves as it was the only race issue that we have in this country.
