According to everyone who was ever in charge of hiring her, they did not know of her claims of ancestry. (One of them suspects it was discussed but he can't remember for sure).

"One area that 30 of the 31 [Harvard professors who had a hand in hiring her] interviewed by the Globe agreed on: There was no talk about her Native American claims during the meetings over her appointment. One professor emeritus, Lloyd Weinreb, said he believes her Native American ancestry was discussed. But, in an e-mail he questioned his own recollection: “I am not sure enough for you to rely on me,” he wrote."

Yea, I highly doubt that, considering this was a time when universities were under great pressure to diversity hire.  It doesn't help that she was touted as Harvard's first woman of color.

By her standard, everyone should be claiming they are Native American.  Or Asian.  Or Black.  Or whatever minority that you have less than 2% in your blood.  Also, he said he would ask her to do it on the debate stage if she won the nomination and, here's the kicker you guys like to ignore, it proved she was the actual NA.  Not had NA ancestry WAY back, which a lot of Americans do.  You know, like she claimed in her life when it benefited her.

So, yea, she still is the pathetic one.

Oh boy....  You are actually believing in what you are writing.

I should have known better when entering a thismeintel thread.

Yea, I get it.  I just destroyed your position with facts, so you have nowhere to go but attack me.  It's ok, you'll get me next time.
