Angelica Gorodischer

[vass]

There was some debate here before about whether Angelica Gorodischer counts for the purposes of this challenge. I did some Googling. She was born in Buenos Aires, and is the daughter of Spanish and French immigrants. She married a Jewish man, which I'm guessing is where the surname came from. (reference) It's possible to be Spanish and POC, but I can't tell from the photos on Google Images if she is. Thoughts?

The impression I get from that interview and this one is that she identifies as the descendant of European immigrants. The term person of color isn't really used in Argentina, but mestizo and indigenous and Afro-Argentine are, and she doesn't use them when asked directly where her ancestors came from, so I'd be reluctant to count her as part of the challenge. It's a tricky thing though, with race being understood and talked about differently in different cultures and all.
