It turns out the Arab-Latina feminist who worked as the American Friends Services Committee\u2019s senior equity, inclusion and culture leader is actually a white girl.<\/p>\n

Raquel Evita Saraswati, the woman who claimed to be an Arab-Latina Muslim for more than 10 years is actually a white girl named Rachel, according to her own mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call her Rachel,\u201d the activist\u2019s mother, Carol Perone told The Intercept. \u201cI don\u2019t know why she\u2019s doing what she\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m German and British, and her father was Calabrese Italian,\u201d her mother said. \u201cShe\u2019s chosen to live a lie, and I find that very, very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mother said, \u201cI\u2019m as white as the driven snow and so is she,\u201d adding that her daughter\u2019s real complexion is much lighter than how she appears in her more recent photos.<\/p>\n

The Intercept reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s chief equity, inclusion, and culture officer, a senior position that gives her access to the files of dozens of the organization\u2019s staff and volunteers. But Saraswati, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is not a person of color, according to her mother, Carol Perone.<\/p>\n
