Anyway, here's a new thread.

The problem is not her claiming to be something she's not. The problem is that she was touted as being the first tenured "woman of color" at Harvard, and presumably took the slot that would have gone to a real "woman of color" had she corrected the claim.

Isn't that Harvard's fault? She got tenure before they found out she claimed native ancestry.

She claimed it in college, long before she was even hired by Harvard.

The whole policy of taking people's ancestry into account in admission, hiring, and promotion decisions is despicable. Harvard is one of the worst offenders. But given that it's being done, and that her side of the political spectrum was the driving force behind the policy, she shouldn't have taken the faculty slot set aside for a "woman of color." Some other person who really was a "woman of color" missed out because of it.

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
