I LOVE Sarah Palin. The following is from her Facebook post about Rachel Dolezal, the white chick who claimed to be black so she could get a good job in the NAACP and the other white chick who claimed she was “native American,” so she could get a good job as a professor at a politically correct university. This is almost a perfect storm. It is old now, but the meme going around the internet right now that goes “An Indian and an African walk into a bar… Just joking, it’s just two liberal white women” really IS funny. Here is part of what Palin said:
Ok, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t laugh… this hard. I know this isn’t a victimless crime, what this white chick perpetrated. But it’s a most crystal clear picture of so many screwed up things we’ve let society adopt as the norm. Namely, the practice nowadays of judging someone not based on character, but on skin color. Our original civil rights freedom fighters are rolling in their graves over the backward steps we’ve taken lately. It’s politically incorrect to call out Elizabeth Warren for falsely claiming she’s American Indian, or dinging Obama for just making up his former multi-ethnic girlfriend, and I guarantee I’ll be branded a racist for laughing at this Rachel Dolezal story. Whatever. Dolezal is an unsatisfied lily white leftist who believes the only thing less politically correct than being a white girl is to be a white guy today.
Kelly is the blue-eyed Mexican girl in our family. The funny deal is that the Mexican side of the family has as many or more blue-eyed, light-skinned people as my lily-white, Anglo-Finnish side of the family. Her first language is Spanish and her mother’s family has been in Mexico for centuries. She has actually gotten called out on here racial insensitivity toward Mexicans by white women at school on a semi-regular basis. One of my favorites was when a girl got offended and told Kelly off because she was not offended by some cafeteria workers wearing sombreros and fake mustaches on Cinco de Mayo. Kelly embraces the affirmative celebration of all things Mexican. How can you not love sombreros and fake mustaches on Cinco de Mayo.
The jokes about these posers are a ton of fun. The subjects of derision could not be more worthy.
Update: Lorena just sent another hilarious one: Click here.
Update II: Found this link to the sombrero and mustache incident (described above). Great fun was had by all!
Update III: This just in from our favorite government school teacher, (lily white) Trisha via text message:
I am thinking about going back to college… I think I can afford it if I claim trans-race. I don’t look it, but I feel Mexican! Affirmative Action and all that. I thought I might claim some imaginery children as dependents…because, although I don’t have children, I fell like I do! I am working on making some salsa and getting a tan! Thoughts?
Trisha, this is a slam-dunk! You are blood related to Mexicans! You EAT salsa and some people you know have kids! You are in with the win!

I have seen the light! I am starting to feel like I am here illegally, so that should open up some floodgates of benefits!
HEY! I am ALL over that! I think we need to be careful about what flavor of illegal we are. If we pick the wrong thing, we might not get into the right Ivy League school!
Okay, this is all way too funny! My husband, who is 1/2 Taiwanese and 1/2 European, and has the last name of Graham (no ties to this name genetically or ethnically as it was his lily white adoptive dad’s last name), has been physically identified as Mexican, Native American, Chinese and Samoan, and he even claims he is 1/2 black…..HaHa! Whatcha gonna do with that?!
Haha Ruthie! That is hilarious. You guys have a bigger problem than us! I love it that has a name that gives no clue to anything about his background.
