I think the jury is still out on Sean King because there’s some question about who is father is.
He did claim to have been racially abused as a teenager and that he reported it to the police but the police say they have no record of a racial incident and that puts his honesty in doubt.
It does raise the philosophical question of what constitutes being black. If you don’t look black, you don’t know for certain you are black, and nobody around you has a clue that you are black, how much of the ‘lived experience’ of being black are you having? If I suddenly discover my father isn’t my biological father after all, and that my real father was black, does that overwrite my decades of living as a white person? Am I suddenly an oppressed minority? Do I get an apology for mistakenly checking my privilege?
The Dolzeal case is pretty cut and dry though, her parents themselves having called her out.
