Fascinating. Have you seen the mainstream left be actively accepting of it?

Rachel Dolezal (by far the most famous case that I know of) was pilloried by the left for cultural appropriation:

Thanks for providing the search link. By my reading, a lot of those are sympathetic to Dolezal, not critical.

Shouldn't there be universal condemnation?

Why should there be universal condemnation or acceptance?

"The left" is not a spec or rigidly defined ideological canon that all "leftists" conform to. As with "the right", "capitalists", "socialists" or any other political or cultural generalization, actual "leftists" can comprise a spectrum of acceptance or disagreement.
