Canadian health official Carrie Bourassa, an Aboriginal health expert and professor at the related research institute, turned out to be a fake Aboriginal. Shortly after her real parentage, which she lied about, was revealed, she lost her job. writes The New York Post.
Bourassa claimed to belong to a special ethnic group – the Canadian mestizo. However, an analysis of her family history revealed that she is a descendant of immigrants from Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic. The truth about her ancestors angered her colleagues, especially the mestizos.
“When some impostor speaks on behalf of mestizos and other indigenous peoples, tells what it means to be mestizo (…) it is very unpleasant, outrageous and harmful,” said Janet Smiley, a mestizo spokeswoman.
In 2016, a black activist from Keene University, New Jersey, was sentenced to 90 days in prison in the United States for sending racist threats anonymously on Twitter, allegedly on behalf of white supremacists.
