Culturally Insensitive man bets a million dollars...

My dad is 1/16th Russian (possibly 1/32 or 1/64 - doesn't matter.) He's never been there, but I still call him Russian because he's Russian. My mom's family did not like him being Russian and did not want my mother to marry him. When they got married, him, being Russian, caused a huge divide in my family. Many of my memories growing up are the bad memories about my family's divide because of my 1/16 (at best) Russian father.

Does this sound believable to you guys? It certainly doesn't with me. Maybe it is and I'm just an ******* or maybe you're gullible. Her story just doesn't add up.

Biff, did you actually read the links or just copy and paste them?
 
Here's what we can prove. Warren was listed as a minority in a faculty directory and she provided a recipe to a Native American cookbook, both of which took place decades ago.

If you want to extrapolate from that that she has been parading herself around as an Indian to advance her career, that says much more about you than it does her.
 
Ok, cool. In 1997, in the Fordham Law Review states, she was "touted by Harvard as efforts to create more diversity amongst faculty." The Harvard Comnection also specifically mentions her being Cherokee after she was hired. I'm not saying she was hired because of this. I'm saying I'm not naive enough to believe she didn't bring it up as another tool in the toolbag to get hired. I'm sure she wasn't hired because of simply her heritage.

She sure as hell milks 1/512 to me though. Lol

And in both of those instances, Warren was not the one who brought up her own background.

What's difficult to understand here?

She claims to be a minority? LMAO.

When you're 99% white, you probably shouldn't be listed as a minority or Cherokee by your employer or no? Seems fair to me.

You know, for sake of the actual minorities.

Yeah, I agree. Like I said, it's pretty clear Harvard was trying to boost its minority numbers.

That's still a far cry from Warren willfully misrepresenting herself to advance her career though.
