The author's title claims there is no comparison.

Then he proceeds to make a comparison.

Maybe just critique this young lady on the merits of her claims, and the effect those claims have had on her career.

To me, her parents have "outed" her as white, which may cause her to lose her job with the NAACP and her job as a teacher of African Studies at a college. So what are her parents trying to accomplish?
