RH/WF/BS has always, to the best of my knowledge, claimed to be SE Asian, and I think always Thai. I am not sure that it's relevant, anyway. At best, it opens up a whole can of pointless arguments and apportioning blame based on inferences and no proof.
If RH is a PoC, then is it worse or better than if she is white and pretending to be a PoC? I mean, we're at a level of so unbelievably shitty already, and I just don't see that speculating about who or what she is, background-wise, is what matters.
What matters is what she has done.
What matters is why people have excused her, and her actions.
What matters is how we choose to deal with each other, and whether we learn from this.
What matters is that, when we see this sort of viciousness, we stand up to it and call the instigators out for what they are.
Actions matter. Words matter. But in my book, if the actions don't match the words, then we judge the actions and (and sometimes by) the results.
RH used hate and anger. She created hate and anger. She used people. And for what?
