[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/04/29/elizabeth-warren-was-listed-minority-professor-law-directories-and/yBZTdrH3Qt8xRu6KZkLDlO/amp.html 2. After joining Penn, Warren had the school change her listed ethnicity from white to “Native American” https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/05/30/elizabeth-warren-acknowledges-telling-harvard-penn-native-american-status/e7rnUDG6kAKvjZJQNr8wjL/story.html 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 https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/05/24/federal-documents-indicate-harvard-repeatedly-reported-elizabeth-warren-native-american/OZdiCFhjx5CCH3Es0sREHM/amp.html 4. Warren submitted several recipes to the Native American cookbook “Pow Wow Chow” and referred to herself in that book as “Elizabeth Warren- Cherokee” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2146628/Elizabeth-Warrens-Pow-Wow-Chow-Cherokee-recipes-word-word-COPIES-famous-FRENCH-chefs-techniques.html 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” https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/29/politics/elizabeth-warren-native-american-pocahontas/index.html The Texas bar registration card that is in the news is just a symptom of a larger issue [/quote] The cnn piece you quote says nothing about "like all the Indians do" Take ONE criticism, and actually give a good link. The thing about recipes I cannot follow in a sloppy article about a family cookbook. Again, the person who hired her at Harvard said her race had NOTHING to do with her hiring.m All this was litigated already years ago. Nothing new. [/quote] There’s plenty of evidence above to show that Warren has behaved shamefully in claiming to be a member of a Native American tribe to further her own career. Your inability to follow articles is your problem. All of this was “litigated” years ago? Really? In which court? All of this information has been public knowledge for quite a while. We can thank the voters in Massachusetts for overlooking Warren’s flimsy claims and allowing this situation to come to a point where it damages the Democratic Party on a national level at a very critical time.[/quote]
