(3,855 posts)Jenner didn't say some person who wasn't' her father was her father.
Jenner didn't' pretend that she didn't' used to identify as male
Jenner didn't' claim to have experiences that she didn't' really have
I think a lot of the Dolezal thing is that she did fool so many for so long. Her lies weren't' seen as outrageous until after the fact. Not to mention I have noticed a lot of minorities are sensitive about white people appropriating stuff for their own benefit.
But I think the worst thing about this is it's quite possible Dolezal did good in her role as president for the NAACP. But that doesn't' even matter now because it's all marred by her lies. There are already too many who will tell you racism is made up and now they can point to Dolezal as if she was representative of anything.
