I've only looked at that blog once or twice... what are they claiming to be, since it sounds like Chard was saying they claimed to be an ethnicity they actually aren't?

Idk, what they claim they are, but I know they're white and live in the US.

She's white, or at least fair-complected and northern-European-looking, but she maybe kind of wants not to be? So far she's come up with two different "ethnic" backgrounds, I think? And got she mocked as a "Pretendian" for one.

She may well be mixed and just white-looking. She may just really be into non-white representation.

I have a bigger problem with her doing very sloppy art history research, which she has been called on rather dramatically. Her larger point (singular) is well-taken, but she seems to be trying to make a vocation of this work when she clearly is not at professional skill, she seems oddly stuck in Anglo-Saxon cultural references for all she says she's Rom, and she makes a lot of "oops, wrong century" mistakes.
