Yes. It is immoral trying to draw from the well of social capital that comes with being a member of an ostensibly-oppressed ethnic minority when you do not belong to that minority and do not have experiences of oppression and immiseration to draw upon. The closest approximation I would have for it would be "stolen valor" when one pretends to have served in the military and/or awarded honors for exemplary service for having braved injury or death. At the very least, it is just plain dishonest. And that is not even touching upon her apparent excuse-making for the murder of children in the Latino community by gang members because the young boy happened to be in the police Explorers Program, which I find even more morally reprehensible.

Well, if we get to re-write our personal history to suit our whims, can I be a "Trans-veteran" since I've never served in the military? Because instead of being a small-town family law and bankruptcy attorney, I would very much prefer to say I was a Navy SEAL who killed 200 Taliban Jihadis, was awarded the Naval* Cross, and transferred to the Army to fly an Apache attack helicopter. Oh, and then I developed the cure for infantile bone cancer. Because I am ALSO a doctor specializing in pediatric oncology. I would bet my made-up history would be way cooler than Mrs. Krug's. :roll:

*EDIT: "Navy Cross"

It’s all open mike night anymore........it’s the Navy Cross, btw.
 
Her career should be over after this--talk about dishonesty! It's worse than plagarism! It's too bad, too; she sounds very bright, and an energetic young professor. I wonder how her parents feel about those antics? If you ask me, there's a screw loose somewhere...
