She's more or less right in what she is saying, that is if she is saying, as I think she is, that there is no such thing as race biologically. That's been more or less accepted for some time. New Scientist has had articles on this over recent years. She is not cutting edge. I doubt she's come to her conclusions after carefully examining the DNA of various groups around the world. The aboriginals of Australia caused some problems, but not that many.

There is more justification for her calling herself black than, for instance, a person born a bloke and undergoing and operation calling herself a woman, and I've got no problems about that.

What a noble idea, however there ARE different races.

Do you mean Nobel? Because if you can define a race you might get the Nobel Prize because no scientist has ever been able to. Just look at the problems SA got into.

If you can't define a thing then it don't exist.

And here we have a white woman who identifies as Native American

She appears to have a relative that was Native American or Mexican some 8-10 generations ago.

It's just more modern farce
same as the non gender twaddle.
It all may start with good intentions but it soon goes into a crapfest.

It doesn’t even start with good intentions. It’s starts with some needy snowflake coveting attention.

But does this all mean the end of racial discrimination? If we’re all one race that shouldn’t be possible. Maybe that’s why the CRE became the EHRC?

You could be hung like a horse thief if that's an acceptable alternative..............

Goes to a crap-fest because people have issues reconciling a long held understanding with evidence that their understanding is incorrect.

With the non-gender "twaddle"...nobody should actually give a st. But people do have an issue because it challenges their taught understandings of gender, and rather than adapt their understanding, they reject it and seek to make others conform.

All humans, whichever "race" all descend from the same person: the mitochondrial "Eve". There are minor divergences of genetics, due to interbreeding with other humanoid races such as the neanderthals and Denisovans back in the day but genetically; Black, White, Asian... we're all the same race Homo-sapiens.
