Culturally Insensitive man bets a million dollars...

You're saying what she did was wrong. Cool. I don't think she intentionally mislead anyone. I think you care about this because it's part of the "identity politics" narrative that is being driven by conservative pundits. Have fun with it!

I didn't even know who EW was until I read about her releasing her DNA. I think I heard that Trump was calling someone Pocahontas but had not idea what that meant other than he was probably being a racists to an Native American.

To me, this isn't a conservative or liberal thing. This is a white lady who's tried to take credit for something she's not and it's as simple as that. The fact that she doubled down with her DNA test proves that she's the one making this identity politics. She's identified with family stories more than reality.

We're obviously not going to agree on this. I'd bet my life on it I'd think the same damn thing about her if she was a conservative though. Would you still have your same stance on it?
 
I'll say one more thing. I see the outrage over EW as similar to another type of completely disingenuous outrage. It's something that is very peculiar to me. It's when a person or group acts outraged with another person or group over something that the the outraged party has historically, sometimes very specifically, not been at all concerned over, and that the now-accused party has held as an important value.

Example is when Muslim extremist groups bomb innocent people intentionally. It's an establish part of their overall strategy. Western powers condemn the brutality and cruelty towards innocent people. Muslim extremists response is GFYS, we don't care. Fast forward, Western powers are using military force against the militant Muslim extremists. The militants intentionally embed themselves into civilian populations and use what looks like religious, medical, etc. buildings as military bases. Western powers take extreme measures to try to avoid civilian casualties. But they aren't perfect. They hit a school or a hospital they thought was actually a military base (and might have been serving that dual purpose) and now the militants who bomb buses and daycares 100% to kill innocent people are shoving dead children in our faces screaming about the injustice of it all, how dare the western powers.

Anyway, that's pretty much how I'm reading AMs posts in this thread, the militant Muslim extremist who has never cared about dead women and children before shoving a dead child in our face and pretending to be outraged.
 
She was told family stories that held very little weight (and now have been proven to be folklore stories.)

Evidence that they are untrue?

She's no more Native than the average white person.

Factually untrue, although I realize you don't care about the facts here anyhow.

Telling family stories to advance one's career or to list them as minority status is wrong.

Warren did not do that.
 
She had no reason to believe it wasn't true. And it wasn't entirely not true. She didn't know until she got the DNA test to what degree it was or was not true. Almost all of us base our understanding of our ancestry on what we are told it is by our family.

She told no lies. She was not deceptive.

I agree. If she was told this while growing up, what is she expected to say "I don't believe you, you're all a bunch of liars!"
 
If you have any European ancestry at all, you are descended from Charlemagne the Great:

http://nautil.us/issue/56/perspective/youre-descended-from-royalty-and-so-is-everybody-else

"You are of royal descent, because everyone is. You are of Viking descent, because everyone is. You are of Saracen, Roman, Goth, Hun, Jewish descent, because, well, you get the idea. All Europeans are descended from exactly the same people, and not that long ago. Everyone alive in the 10th century who left descendants is the ancestor of every living European today, including Charlemagne, and his children Drogo, Pippin, and, of course, not forgetting Hugh. If you’re broadly eastern Asian, you’re almost certain to have Genghis Kahn sitting atop your tree somewhere in the same manner, as is often claimed. If you’re a human being on Earth, you almost certainly have Nefertiti, Confucius, or anyone we can actually name from ancient history in your tree, if they left children. The further back we go, the more the certainty of ancestry increases, though the knowledge of our ancestors decreases. It is simultaneously wonderful, trivial, meaningless, and fun.

The truth is that we all are a bit of everything, and we come from all over. Even if you live in the most remote parts of the Hebrides, or the edge of the Greek Aegean, we share an ancestor only a few hundred years ago. A thousand years ago, we Europeans share all of our ancestry. Triple that time and we share all our ancestry with everyone on Earth. We are all cousins, of some degree. I find this pleasing, a warm light for all mankind to share. Our DNA threads through all of us."
 
I feel like this is off topic, and needs to be closed.

donnie says "u not pokohauntis"
Warren says "am2"
d: "million monies says u wont test that and shaer"
W: k
*months pass*
*test results come back and are offered to the public*
W: "told u i wuz n8ive. pai up"
d: "i nevar said dat"

That's it. Case closed. Anything after this is stupid. Ok, Great, maybe she's only 1/1024 Native American. It's not her fault donnie made a **** bet.

I wonder where all these MAGA hat wearing young men could have learned such disrespect for Native people

It's not disrespectful. He's just respectfully watching the music, because he appreciates all people, like every Trump supporter. Of course the lamestream media will try to spin this into something negative.

Congrats. You found some idiot Trump supporters. You can barely find clips like these anywhere. I bet you I can find you 1000's of idiot Hillary supporters doing far worse. I cant post them though because of the language and violenced used.
