Didn't realize you were a law professor at Harvard. Well, I'm sure they will allow you to correct your form, now that you understand it better. barfo
Now, I'm not sure, it might be 1/8. Gotta call my aunt in Alabama and ask her. She's my dad's sister and knows all the details. I remember my father saying that it would have been against the law for me to attend a white school in South Carolina. However, I was born in an Army hospital and they just wrote White on my birth certificate.
I'm pretty sure I was a Harvard Law Professor in a past life. I was also Geronimo and Julius Caesar. Which boxes do I get to check on my next application?
Why would any tribe feel the need to do that? Are they concerned that since one woman said she had a Native ancestor, that there will be a flood of applications for tribal membership? barfo
It's virtually impossible that any White Republican would ever admit to being an African American. Maybe 20 years ago but definitely not since Trump took over.
You don't see why a minority group that has suffered severe persecution at the hands of white people would care about someone who is 95% European using their Native American heritage to get ahead?
The reason I'm so weird about this is I grew up hearing people with blonde hair and blue eyes saying they had Cherokee princesses in their family, it seems to have "triggered" me in my adult life.
If that actually had happened, sure. But since she didn't use it to get ahead, it's a strawman. And it's a strawman to go on about the rules for tribal membership, since she never claimed that. And it would be a strawman for NASA to go on about her lack of astronaut training, since she never claimed to be an astronaut. barfo
She can claim that her motive was pure, but how exactly do we know that she received no advantages from being listed publicly as a racial minority? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren "In April 2012, The Boston Globe sparked a campaign controversy by reporting that from 1986 to 1995 Warren had listed herself as a racial minority in the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) Directory of Law Teachers.[38]Harvard Law School had identified Warren as a "woman of color" in response to criticisms about a lack of faculty diversity"
One of my faults is that I have a hard time understanding anything that is not straight forward. Therefor, it's me, not you.
You're going to have to provide some sort of evidence that she used it to get ahead or not bring up the subject.
Show me some evidence that she used it to get ahead or else let's move on to a more productive topic.
