		Chao has, by all accounts, not intervened in the starry-eyed media portrayal of her as the embodiment of the American Dream.

		Chao’s subterfuge—in addition to her general self-mythologizing, she’s been caught in a few blatant if minor misrepresentations—adds a chilling new twist on the right’s cooptation of the politics of identity.
