There's a difference between how someone identifies and how they make a point to emphasize how VERY NON BLACK LOOKING they are. It's like me saying I support my gay friends but JUST SO YOU KNOW I HAVE A BOYFRIEND. MALE BOYFRIEND. STRAIGHT VERY STRAIGHT. That sort of thing.
Not sure if she just thought that describing herself that way would be more impressive to NPC sororities or if that's a result of how she identifies, or if that's a result of the societal values around her. But the criticism is fair.
