‘White As The Driven Snow’: Leader At Social Justice Org Faked Minority Identity, Her Mother Claims

The American Friends Services Committee’s (AFSC) senior equity, inclusion and culture leader has been lying about her identity for years, her mother told The Intercept.

Raquel Evita Saraswati, who was born with the name Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, does not have a racially diverse, ethnic background as she had claimed, according to The Intercept. She has German and English ancestry from her mom’s side and Italian from her father’s, not Arab, Latina or South Asian as Saraswati suggested.
