SPOKANE, Wash. -- Ezra Dolezal said the last time he saw his sister, she asked him to keep her background a secret.
Ezra, Rachel's adopted brother, said he has not seen his sister since 2012. He said she made it clear that her background needed to be kept a secret.
"She's trying to say that people were racist to her her entire life, even though she grew up a white, privileged person in Montana," he said.
Dolezal is the acting president of Spokane's NAACP chapter.
Dolezal's parents said last Thursday that she was born Caucasian, and has been deceiving people into thinking she was African American since 2004.
Ezra agreed with his parents.
"None of the other members of the family can actually tan that dark. So I'm pretty sure she's using makeup or a spray on tan," said Ezra Dolezal of his sister.
