He and I met collaborating on a relief project after the Haitian earthquake. I was faculty at a metro-Atlanta college and his church was in the city - Shaun organized, very quickly, a program to fly tents and other shelters to Haiti. It was a very successful campaign and one I was proud to be a part of.
So, I've known him for five years, mostly in a professional capacity, though I did attend his church a few times as part of that work. I've met his wife and children. I've met many of the people around him. If it turns out he was "passing", it will really shock me. Though, after the whole Rachel Doezel business, I guess nothing is shocking in that regard anymore.

And to be clear...I'm not questioning whether or not he's a good guy at heart. But it's odd that someone would totally reject their actual race and attempts to pass as a completely different race.
And it's borderline criminal if he did it to receive college funding. You have to question the ethics of an individual who would go to that extreme.
Many people who know him are currently challenging his ethics from past decisions he's made such as claiming a gang of "rednecks" jumped him when many people deny that actually happened.

I followed him on twitter for a while. He seems like a cool guy and has a good heart, even though some of his views are a bit extreme for me.
I always thought he was bi-racial, or just beige.
