    The majority of my friends and family are Native Americans, and there's no set "look".

    'Real Indian' running against Sen. Elizabeth Warren sues after city tells him to stop calling her 'Fake Indian'

    A self-described "real Indian" who is running against Mass. Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is suing after city officials demanded he take down his signs calling her a "fake Indian."

    The upstart independent Senate challenger, Shiva Ayyadurai, on Sunday filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the demand from the city of Cambridge violates his constitutional free speech rights, according to The Washington Times.

    Since March 17, Ayyadurai's campaign bus has sported two identical signs picturing himself and a rendition of Warren wearing Indian attire. Emblazoned next to the images are the words: "Only a REAL INDIAN Can Defeat the Fake Indian."

    The bus has reportedly been stationed in a parking lot in front of an office building owned by Ayyadurai, who faces exceptionally long odds, for more than a month -- just a mile from Warren's home.

    [​IMG]
    Earlier this month, the campaign received a notice from Cambridge building inspector Branden Vigneault that the signs lacked the appropriate "approvals and permits," according to local reports and the Ayyadurai campaign.

    Vigneault threatened fines of $300 per day plus additional legal penalties if the signs remain in place, according to Ayyadurai.

    "The problem with Warren’s story is that none of the evidence supports it."

    - Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes
    “We will not remove the slogan from our bus,” Ayyadurai told The Washington Times. “We will defend the First Amendment, and we will fight this egregious attack on the First Amendment, at any cost.”

    Ayyadurai's campaign reportedly thinks the building code doesn't apply to the signs because they're on a bus, not a structure.

    Warren has long been accused of saying she is of Native American heritage to help in securing jobs, including one as a Harvard law professor.

    President Trump has repeatedly called Warren, a Wall Street critic and potential White House rival, “Pocahontas,” a notable American Indian woman in colonial history, to highlight the controversy. Warren has said she ruled out challenging Trump in 2020.

    When asked in March whether she’d agree to calls for genetic testing to resolve the heritage controversy, Warren launched into a family history, as purportedly told by her parents and grandparents, before saying, “It’s a part of who I am, and no one’s ever going to take that away.”

    Experts have cast doubt on Warren's claim.

    “The problem with Warren’s story is that none of the evidence supports it,” Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes wrote after researching Warren's family.

    But observers have also accused Ayyadurai of puffery and distortion, as well. The attacks mostly center on his longstanding claim to be the inventor of e-mail.

    I wasn't limiting the number of those disagreeing to those just in here.

    Look, whenever there is a large number of people disagreeing with me and a small number disagreeing, I re-evaluate my position with an open mind. Doesn't mean I'm wrong but it does mean that I should take another look.

    Not saying I’m not wrong but at the same time it’s kind of just how I view things. There are some things that are out right offensive and some things people choose to get offended by when they could carry on with their day and forget the nonsense.

    Offensive feedback is counterproductive and not in anyone's self interest.

    Man, I watched and loved Chappelle's show too. Things can be funny. Especially if they are on the Comedy Central channel. That is meant for laughs.

    The Office of the President of the United States should not be a place to make stand-up humor.

    I thought this following skit was hilarious, but Trump is not NEARLY as funny as Chappelle. That is where your analogy falls flat dude. Was Dave racist, maybe, some could argue. Was Trump racist, maybe, some could argue. Was Trump funny?

    That hairdo looks like what would happen if you walked into a barbershop and asked for "The Works."

    Native Americans are like African Americans, most have some amount of white blood in them.

    Maybe not comparing, but you bring Chappelle up a lot.

    I think the question comes down to: Is Trump a Racist?

    Whether I watched Chappelle's Show or not, I think I have to say, Yes. If you say no then that's okay. It's your opinion.

    This is something that is not lost on me bro.

    I'm well aware of this.

    My point is why are you so mad at EW? You've JUST said what's true. Here YOU are calling her "whitey" and she very well could be part native...

    I think that's some weird, backwards shit. It didn't make sense at all. You are literally part native (due to genocide) and you've joined the tomahawk chop guys??

    He's already answered this question. He's said that Trump is not racist.
