Publisher denounces Jessica Krug for pretending to be black | Books | The Guardian

Krug, a white Jewish woman from Kansas and professor focusing on imperialism, colonialism and African American history at George Washington University, admitted in a Medium post earlier this month that she had "assumed identities within a blackness that I had no right to claim: first North African Blackness, then US-rooted blackness, then Caribbean-rooted Bronx blackness". After the university cancelled classes taught by Krug, and her colleagues called on her to step down, Krug resigned from her position last week .
