| She came clean because she was about to get caught. This is more egregious than Elizabeth Warren and Rachel Dolazel for sure. |
| +1 Yep. Someone was going to expose her. |
Who is he? |
| Rashida Jones and Halsey both look whiter than this lady to me. But wtf is wrong with someone to make up a heritage? |

She does not look black to me at all. However, if someone presents to me as a black person, there is very little chance that I would ever question it.
It can be hard to tell, although the examples in my experience were people who were black/mixed (and not pretending otherwise) but white people perceived them as white. |
She didn’t break the law but she took spots away from other scholars of color. Her tenure track job, for instance, was stated to have been a diversity hire. |
| There's a New York Post video of her in a profanity laced tirade. She talks about her black and brown brothas and sistas. She has the fakest accent ever. |

| My ex is in academia in an adjacent field. He was telling me about her last week and that a group of POC academics were planning to expose her. She was forced to come clean. He also said she wore bizarrely dark makeup to conferences. |
It's always amazing how long people like this can hide in plain sight. Ugh. What a mess for all involved. |

| Lots of cleavage for her faculty website photo |
Butterfield is from the same area and is the same age as my father. He grew up in the segregated south (Wilson, NC), went to a segregated school and even NCCU (a HBCU). So while today he may present as white, he definitely grew up black in the 40s, 50s and 60s. He’s in the congressional black caucus. |
Like the former leader of the NAACP? |
