1) Yes - because it's stealing a job from otherwise qualified people who fit the actual cultural (and - from the employers' perspective - desired) background.

2) You're misunderstanding. Fraud is fraud - material misrepresentation. Here, his cultural appropriation is a subset of his fraud (lying on his resume - and in media interviews, etc.).

This is fraud - which is wrong and illegal.

It's *also* cultural misrepresentation.

No different than if he'd stolen valor by pretending to have been a military veteran.

1) Why is a certain cultural background needed for the job? It sounds like he did it pretty well. I imagine his employers also thought so as they promoted him even after learning of his sick, twisted crimes against humanity.

2) Show me what he did that was illegal?  Just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true. 

3) If you don't see a difference between this and the stolen valor act, it is far too late for me to help you.

Illegal? Maybe not. Scummy? Definitely.

Similar to the anti-life equation.
