I Have Something to Say

If white privilege exists then why did Elizabeth Warren have to pretend to be a Native American in order to get ahead in life?
Someone posted this on Facebook and it's a good point.

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.)
