I Have Something to Say

excerpt from a Washington Post article relevant to your claim:

[i]... Brown said that Warren “checked the box claiming she was Native American” when she applied to Harvard and Penn, suggesting the Democratic candidate somehow gained an unfair advantage because of an iffy ethnic background. But there is no proof that she ever marked a form to tell the schools about her heritage, nor is there any public evidence that the universities knew about her lineage before hiring her.

The senator’s debate comments also suggest Warren actively applied for positions with Harvard and Penn, [b]but the evidence suggests the schools recruited her because of her groundbreaking research and writings on bankruptcy. Harvard, in fact, did not give up on her after she first turned down a tenured position with the university [/b]....[/i]


In short, there is [i]no evidence[/i] Warren pretended to be a Native American in order to get ahead in life

(In contrast, there [i][u][b]is[/b][/u][/i] evidence for Covid vaccines being safe, as well as Trump violating the Espionage Act, interfering with the 2020 election, being a fraudulent businessman, lying every time he opens his mouth, etc.)

No, it's not a good point. We fucking stole their land out from under them, made them give up their language, their culture, their religion, and now you're trying to say that they're "privileged" because we give them chump change to help out with college? We award scholarships to Native Americans based on their heritage [i]because[/i] they're an [i]under[/i]-privileged group, and if we didn't do that they would fall even farther behind whites in terms of academics, power, prestige, wealth, employment, crime, negative racial stereotypes, etc. It's fucking ludicrous how obviously sheltered white middle class Republicans can say they have it so damn rough and then look at the most obviously oppressed groups and call them lazy, spoiled, or "privileged".

To me this just [i]proves[/i] that white privilege exists and her doing that reinforces a number of false stereotypes.

At the most very basic, it is an attempt to lay ancestral claim to a land that they don't have and access perceived "perks" that do not exist.

"My great great great great great great grandma might have been a Cherokee Princess so I'm going to tick this box to see if I get a scholarship."

To me that wreaks of privilege and disrespect.

Wasn’t it to get a professorship at Harvard? That position was earmarked for a Native American...
She thought she could get away with it but it came back and bit her in the ass...😂

Yes true I thought about it.
