[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did putting this down benefit her?  Was their affirmative action in registering to join the Bar?  If not, what difference does this make? [/quote]

You don't think her background was considered when she was applying for jobs?[/quote]

I see nothing here indicating that she put down American Indian when applying for a job - just on her form when she registered for the Bar.  [/quote]

So, she claimed to be white on all other forms she filled out.  
That means she lied on this one.  Do you not see that as a problem?[/quote]

I don't even know if race was on the other forms she filled out.  Maybe she saw herself as both races, and sometimes put down one or the other.   Until you can tell me where she put down American Indian and show that it benefitted her this is a "nothing burger".   [/quote]

“Nothingburger”? Okay Hillary, here are some other questionable things Warren did with regard to claiming to be Cherokee  in order to further her career:

1. Warren self identified as “Native American” in the Association of American Law Schools Directory of Professors, in every print edition from 1986-1995

2. After joining Penn, Warren had the school change her listed ethnicity from white to “Native American”

3. Warren was identified by Harvard Law as a “woman of color” Harvard promoted Warren’s hiring as an expansion of campus diversity by hiring a woman of “minority background “ on their faculty

4. Warren submitted several recipes to the Native American cookbook “Pow Wow Chow” and referred to herself in that book as “Elizabeth Warren- Cherokee”

5. Warren used offensive, racially charged language to support her claim of Cherokee ancestry, stating that her family had “high cheekbones” like “all the Indians do”

The Texas bar registration card that is in the news is just a symptom of a larger issue
