It may be true that Harris was chosen because she's a tractable candidate, but the optics are still the most important thing. Also, once you open the floodgates of "true" ethnic identity there'll be no end to it. Soon guys like you will be asking: "Who has suffered most? Can you prove it? Where's the documentation to show your ancestors were slaves?"
Critical race Theorists would agree that Harris getting in is a sign of white accommodation, but they'd still see it as a plus. It's a foot in the door. You'd have black voters reject her till they got an authentically suffering, slavey black, into the White House? That's the quick route to no power at all, fast. -

Barack Obama was a plus even if he was raised by white women and had an African not an African-American father. I can't deny that.
But this lady with a history of corruption? The pressure was on to choose a real African-American and the white power structure deftly avoided that.
But again, the issue is not "Who has suffered most?" It's a very straight forward matter of representation by a historical underclass.

The next time around they'll get a woman whose ancestors suffered so much that she died in childbirth. Whitey will be sufficiently softened up by then to accept a black Muslim transvestite who wants America to melt all her guns into one enormous ploughshare (with which to harvest organically grown vegetables).
