If a white American woman can be Black, and a white American man be a woman, why can’t a white Australian woman be Native American??
If either of those things were true, then no reason at all why not. Since neither is true, that’s why not.
In any case, there was no indication in the article that Ms. Hinze-Clarke was claiming to be Native American.
