I thank you for telling me what my claim is, but if it really is my claim why don't you let me make it?
Here it is:
This controversy began with Warren registering, listed, or referred to as a Native American, a Minority, or a Person of Color.
Much later when Elizabeth became political and was challenged on this she made reference to a suggested Cherokee ancestry.
There is no evidence of Elizabeth Warren having one drop of Native America, Minority, person of color or even Cherokee blood.
It is not a matter of Lizzie simply "
being mistaken about her heritage," it is a matter of her telling a bold-faced lie.
In fact, as this became more evident she told even more ridiculous lies to cover it up:
$1:
Over the ensuing weeks, information was uncovered by a law professor that starting in the mid-1980s, when she was at U. Penn. Law School, Warren had put herself on the “Minority Law Teacher” list in the faculty directory of the Association of American Law Schools but dropped from that list when she gained tenure at Harvard. When confronted with this information, Warren admitted she had filled out forms listing herself as Native American, claiming she wanted to meet other Native Americans. That explanation was irrational because the faculty directory only listed her as “minority,” not as “Native American,” so putting herself on that list was not a way to meet other Native Americans.
Later, reporters uncovered that Warren had represented herself to both U. Penn and Harvard for federal reporting purposes as Native American. Warren, however, did not meet the two part test under Harvard and EEOC definitions of Native American, a definition which likely was on the page when she checked the box. Warren has refused to release these records.
Do you get it yet? This isn't even a quibble over whether or not Warren has enough native american blood to call herself a native american. She has none. In any case it wasn't her putting herself out there as a Cherokee or even as somebody of Cherokee descent that got her into trouble. She was registering as a native american then listing herself as a minority and was being referred to as a person of color.
And the great American Aboriginal uprising begins, led by fiddle dog himself, defender of minority rights. Good grief man, if it was a lie, it was minor. Note in your own reference it states she gained nothing and in martini's that there is a lot of leeway in interpretation of who is Cherokee.
