In their rush to check identity boxes, cultural Marxists have been punked by a racial impostor calling herself Raquel Evita Saraswati. The Intercept is incensed:

Members of the American Friends Service Committee, a prominent Quaker organization known for its progressive values and social justice advocacy in the U.S. and abroad, have raised an alarm about a woman holding a leadership position within the organization who they say has misrepresented her ethnic background for years and who they fear may be working on behalf of groups seeking to undermine their organization.

Raquel Evita Saraswati, a Muslim activist who for years has encouraged people to believe that she is a woman of color, including Latina as well as of South Asian and Arab descent, is the AFSC’s chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer, a senior position that gives her access to the files of dozens of the organization’s staff and volunteers. But Saraswati, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is not a person of color, according to her mother, Carol Perone.

“I call her Rachel,” Perone told The Intercept…

Saraswati, her mother added, is of British, German, and Italian descent — not Latina, South Asian, or Arab.

At least she appears to have really converted to a conception of Islam. Maybe she really is homosexual too, despite the problem that would present for her in Muslim lands.

Oskar Pierre Castro, a human resources professional who participated in the search committee to fill Sarawati’s position, told The Intercept that she had presented herself as a “queer, Muslim, multiethnic woman.”

Among liberals, this comprises such a complete résumé that no further qualifications would be required.

“It really touched all the points,” said Castro, who works for Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, a Quaker group that frequently partners with the AFSC, and who was involved in the search along with AFSC staff members.

Because Seidel I mean Saraswati used to appear on Fox News and Newsmax in the role of moderate Muslim, moonbats now suspect that she has embedded herself as a spy working on behalf of nefarious conservatives. More likely is that she has discovered how to get the best job possible in a world run by liberals.

“People are concerned,” a member of AFSC’s leadership told The Intercept, requesting anonymity to avoid retaliation. “There’s a fear that she could be an agent, because she started her career right-wing. She was a token Muslim voice in that milieu. She never publicly apologized.”

How could any apology suffice for having appeared on Fox News?

Please welcome “Raquel Evita Saraswati” to the growing list of racial impostors.
