    I'm not sure I would be exactly happy forking out 15k for a year at uni and someone walks out to give you a lecture with massive Stacy Slater hoop earrings. But then you wouldn't be able to complain with her set up.

    Krug matched the academic caricature she had created with a Latina sartorial caricature that was just as heavy-handed, showing up to teach her classes at GWU wearing tight cheetah-print pants, a crop top, shoulder-grazing hoop earrings, and a nose ring, according to an interview one of her students gave the Cut. In a photo on her official web page for GWU (since removed), she wears a low-cut, bust-exposing purple dress that looks more suitable for a night on the town than a morning in the classroom.

    The UK history on race is different to the US.

    The UK never had the "one drop rule" so if you look a particular race/ethnic group, regardless of how you self identify strangers have no problem telling you to your face that you are that race/ethnic group.

    This guy is the well-known example of it the other way round. Anthony Ekundayo Lennon on being accused of 'passing' as a black man: 'It felt like an assassination' | Race | The Guardian

    Also in her case if she tried to claim she was from North Africa, Carribbean or whatever in the UK there are enough people from and descended from those parts of the world who could call her out.

    I was amused by her faking it to get the role. Makes some of our posters look like amateurs.

    Not sure if we should worry about having to be black to be a Black history expert?

    She can't remember which black experience she is claiming.
