Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this story misstated the intentions of a tweet by @GodfreyElfwick. [B]He operates a parody account.[/B]
An unusual case of racial identity in Spokane, Wash., has people talking about identity and if it's possible to be born in the "wrong skin."
The parents of Rachel Dolezal, the president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, claim their daughter is falsely identifying as African American when she is actually caucasian.

This guy is funny because of how people react to what he says. They take him seriously and don't throw him aside as some loon or try to correct him. He parodies a certain group of people quite perfectly.
Just to give you an idea,

Could be bad reporting.
If in doubt, it's satire. Generally a good rule to go by

Nah, he's a parody. He's not even ParkourDude levels of parody, it's pretty transparent.
he's trying too hard

And yet they still fall for it.
What's it satirizing?
[QUOTE=thisispain;47943932]What's it satirizing?[/QUOTE]
Tumblr.
There is actually a small loud part of it that state they're 'in the wrong skin' referring to race.

I'm so bored of this.
It's satirizing a micro-blogging platform...

A subculture of it that was already mostly satirical to begin with.

I could say that about Meninism, but people still took that seriously.

Basically fucking Poe's Law.
At least half of Tumblr consists of "anti-snowflake, pro-logic" people who search the internet for posts made by middle-schoolers and reply to it with essay length material and they all write really corny shit like this dude and think it's super-new or something.

The other half are people who take the middle-schoolers or teenagers seriously and follow suit.
Then another half are the fandoms so toxic they actually scare people away followed by another half that will mindlessly reblog anything so long as the guy is the one doing the crime.(XKit, John Green)

And then another half are those stupid ironic meme blogs who reblog "pepe the frog" with all-lowercase random text and run all funny internet jokes deep into the ground.
God, I hate Tumblr.
Oh, almost forgot the last half that just look for art, fandoms and are generally pleasant people. And yes, this way about 100% because tumblr takes things way past 200% in the scale of ridiculous.

I love Tumblr. But that's because I keep to the few fandoms that aren't fucking stupid, namely the Battletech and Warhammer 40k fandoms which are surprisingly calm and collected regarding the material they love.

how many people who "satirize" tumblr have actually ever used tumblr?
you literally only see the shit that you type into the search and if you dont wanna see it no more you unfollow and there. nothing is loud on tumblr without your consent. god damn i wish people would stop dividing the internet into tumblr and 4chan it's unbelievably gay

Here is how easy it is to ignore extremists and mass arguments on tumblr:
Follow the art blogs of artists you like on there and nothing else.
or all the porn gif blogs there are fucking heeeeeeeeeeaps it's crazy
Seems far more related to the Rachel Dolezal issue going on that actual tumblr.

He's pretty topical regarding related news (and also used her name as hashtag), so I'd assume so.
His content is actually quite diverse, including the occasional poetry.
[QUOTE=MR-X;47943037]he's trying too hard[/QUOTE]
So does the Onion and we need a separate tumblr blog to keep track of not even half the people who fall for their stuff :v:
It would not surprise me if news outlets clocked the story as satire and ran it anyway, pageviews are pageviews, as any site that posts flagrant bullshit and touts it as satire will tell you

Oh my Jesus Fuck.
[B]Shut up.[/B] Shut the fuck up. The next person to jump on me because I'm telling them in a matter of fact way that a small vocal group of morons on tumblr actually thing trans-race is a thing and is being mocked by this twitter is going to somehow score you social points because you're like 'lmao i can't take this seriously but I'm gonna be a jackass anyway'.
Its not a strawman, its not a logical fallacy. Its a fucking fact and its so insignificant of fact that I didn't even put an opinion next to it. FUCK.

You can't deny that vocal minority doesn't exist, and that's what this is satirising, not Tumblr as a whole. Nobody is "straw-manning" this is as the entirety of that site.
