An anonymous letter from the organization&#8217;s members and other individuals <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@kentinyoung\/open-letter-on-raquel-evita-saraswati-rachel-elizabeth-seidel-e224370da860\">Indicted<\/a> Saraswati &#8220;cultural vulturism&#8221; And asked her to resign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Intercept spoke to Saraswati&#8217;s family members who claimed that she was misrepresenting herself. &#8220;I call her Rachel,&#8221; Carol Perone, Saraswati\u2019s mother, stated. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why she&#8217;s doing what she&#8217;s doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Perone explained to the outlet that her daughter isn&#8217;t Latina, South Asian or Arab, as was previously believed. She has a family history that originated in Britain, Germany and Italy. &#8220;I&#8217;m as white as the driven snow and so is she,&#8221; Perone stated. &#8220;She&#8217;s chosen to live a lie, and I find that very, very sad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oskar Castro is a human resource specialist with a focus in DEI. He helped Saraswati join the AFSC. &#8220;deceived&#8221; Because he believed that she was not white, he checked several diversity boxes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my mind, it was, \u2018Great, a person of color, a queer person of color, who happens to be a Muslim, it&#8217;s a woman,&#8217; all these things, and someone who seemed to get it. I definitely feel conned,&#8221; He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saraswati was also criticised for her past appearances on Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are concerned,&#8221; An AFSC leader told The Intercept that he was speaking on behalf of the organization. &#8220;There&#8217;s a fear that she could be an agent, because she started her career right-wing. She was a token Muslim voice in that milieu. She never publicly apologized.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Layne Mullett, spokesperson for the AFSC stated that they don&#8217;t require their team members to be there. &#8220;prove&#8221; Their ethnic identity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are in receipt of the documentation alleging that our Chief Equity, Inclusion, and Culture Officer, Raquel Saraswati, has been misrepresenting her identity. AFSC has given Raquel the opportunity to address the allegations against her, and Raquel stands by her identity. Raquel also assures us that she remains loyal to AFSC&#8217;s mission, which we firmly believe,&#8221; Mullet stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saraswati wouldn&#8217;t be the first person in the world to mislead the people about their ethnicity for career advancement.
