White ex-professor who claims she's black can't get a job

The uncertainty about her own race is apparently not the only problem facing Rachel Dolezal these days.

The former college professor and head of the NAACP in Spokane, Washington, who is white but claims she
is black is now reportedly living on food stamps, and has only been offered work in reality TV.

According to the Guardian, the transracial Dolezal has applied for more than 100 jobs, including positions
at Eastern Washington University where she was previously an adjunct professor.
But she claims her former colleagues at the school pretended to have no recollection of having met her
during the interview process.

Dolezal went so far as to legally change her name, but people still recognize and mock her. She says the
only employment she has been offered is in reality TV.

A friend is said to have helped her pay this months rent, and Dolezal expects to be homeless next month.

This is obviously an issue a lot of people want to say things about, Dolezal told the Guardian.

And it needs to be talked about, so its kind of helpful to create a punching bag. Theres nobody saying,
Well, thats racist if you say that about Rachel, or Thats sexist if you say that about Rachel. Theres no
protected class for me. Im this generic, ambiguous scapegoat for white people to call me a race traitor and
take out their hostility on. And Im a target for anger and pain about white people from the black community.
Its like I am the worst of all these worlds.

The Guardian reported:

The 39-year-old says she can count the friends she has left in town on her fingers. Right now
the only place that I feel understood and completely accepted is with my kids and my sister.
She has written a memoir, titled In Full Color, but 30 publishing houses turned her down
before she found one willing to print it. The narrative was that Id offended both communities
in an unforgivable way, so anybody who gave me a dime would be contributing to wrong and
oppression and bad things. To a liar and a fraud and a con.

She wrote it, she says, to set the record straight. But also to open up this dialogue about race
and identity, and to just encourage people to be exactly who they are. Some will read it as the
first draft of a new version of identity politics, which casts race just like gender on a
spectrum, and its author as the worlds first trans-black case. Others wont believe a word of it.
Im not even sure whether this is a story about race, or a strange tale of one familys
dysfunction.

If the narrative of fluid, non-binary gender identity is now widely accepted, Dolezal believes the
same should apply to race. Its very similar, in so far as: this is a category Im born into, but
this is really how I feel.

Is racial identity as fluid as gender? Its more so. Because it wasnt even biological to begin
with. It was always a social construct.
