A pair of Arizona diversity, equity and inclusion 'experts' have been blasted for falsely accusing an African-American DJ of wearing blackface at an event.
Jill Lassen and Stuart Rhoden, who advocate for diversity at the Scottsdale Unified School District in various capacities, wrote scathing letters of complaint after DJ Kim Koko Hunter appeared at a PTA event, and they mistook him for a white man.
Stuart and Rhoden have since apologized, with some noting the irony of 'diversity and inclusion' activists rushing to such false conclusions.
But Rhoden also sought to double down on his initial allegation, and speculated as to whether Hunter may have used cosmetic products to make his skin appear darker.
'When you are so hell bent on pointing out everyone as a racist, only to uncover yourself as the racist,' one person tweeted.
Hunter, the Scottsdale school district and the Hopi PTA did not immediately respond to requests for comment from DailyMail.com.
The PTA at Hopi Elementary in Phoenix hired Hunter to entertain the crowd at its largest fundraiser of the year on April 9.
It was a success, and drew in over $300,000 for 'essential programs and services' that are not paid for by the Scottsdale Unified School District.
But Lassen and Rhoden decided to take umbrage with Hunter's skin-tone, after mistaking him for a white man in a racist outfit according to the Arizona Daily Independent.
The pair complained about the apparent racist incident to the school's principal and the head of the PTA, who quickly clarified that Hunter is actually a black man

Got it
He would only play KC and the Sunshine Band?
Bahahaha stupid libtard Karens stepped in it again 🤪
First liberals can’t determine what a woman is. Now they can’t figure out if a person is black.
Man, they are really dropping the ball in 2022. They specifically cater to pandering to these two groups. How is that possible if they can’t even identify them....?
Well said.
They smile as if they’ve never smiled before.
“We have met the enemy and he is us”
Sure sounds like a Firing offense to me?
“A pair of Arizona diversity, equity and inclusion ‘experts’... “
You will not find a more wretched hive of scum, villainy, and stupidity than in a “diversity, equity, and inclusion” group. Even the University of Mos Eisley would not hire that collection of talking *ssholes.
I hope I never, ever meet one of those people. 😖😣🤢
My 3 kids went through the Scottsdale School System. The last one graduated in 2006, but it was a relatively normal school district at that time.
“In a Facebook post last week, he apologized to ‘dude’ for the mistake, only to then double-down and suggest that Hunter was wearing makeup to make himself look darker.
‘Let me be clear, a Black man, apparently in Black face is an entirely different discussion than a White person. However I did not state that the person was White.”
This is called doubling down on stupid.
That's because they thought, at least for a little while, that they were going to destroy some man's life.
This is what "woke liberals" loving doing best.
Lol...
Sad thing is, tho, the two ‘diversity advocates’ will probably not learn a thing from this. I bet they’re proud of being so ‘vigilant’, so to speak.
What a couple of idiots. Then to accuse a black guy of looking too black is right out of the Babylon Bee.
Ms. Lassen and Mr. Rhoden should be gone by the close of business tomorrow, Mon. None of this “on leave with pay” BS! Fire their sorry asses.
Not only are they dropping the ball, you are scoring some serious points with those truthbombs you’re dropping. You should be on a Topps or Fleer card or something.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
If and when Breyer finally steps down (may he change his mind), “Will Not See” will officially be a justice on the Supreme Court. How’s that for a woman who goes by three names, in the modern way? Heaven help us.
DEI bruh missed the real crime - the Afro wig.
Then refers to him as dude instead of by his name. Real professional.
Looks like a fun gathering, we can’t have that!
