I'm just glad we cleared up that the cookbook was zero bad, because it's just fine for people of mixed genes to mix memes.

Looking forward to the next round of baseless accusations, though.
 
Why are we talking about this? Ignore the name and find a good attack ad for her opponent. The way you deal with this is find everyone who is talking about it and then find who they had affairs with, their DUI's, their kids in rehab, wife's debt hiding and character assassinate the **** out of them. Democrats need to stop being wimps.

They learned nothing from 2004. Why the hell can any member of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth show their faces in public? Everyone of them should have been choked on their dirty laundry. You want to talk about John Kerry's service, we'll talk about your affair.

You say, Hillary gave uranium to the Russians? We find the guy from whom you got a hand job and drugs from to hide your sexuality and self medicate your PTSD.

Hannity wouldn't grouse about Uranium One if the penalty for bringing it up was CNN finding (with help) every intern who worked at Fox News who he put a hand on.

Warren shouldn't worry about being called on her lineage. She needs to think about how she destroys anyone who brings it up.

It bears mentioning that they were federally mandated diversity statistics. Don't know if that will change anyone's mind about anything in particular...

Those federally mandated statistics that nobody at Harvard gives any consideration to at hiring time?

The only way that would have had any importance is if they hired Warren over somebody else more qualified because of her (alleged) NA heritage. If they would have hired her anyway, it means nothing.

On the contrary. It tells us a lot about the whole issue of diversity hiring in the US.

It's less about Warren specifically, and more about what Warren's story tells us about diversity policy: It's crap.

Ok, sure, but now tell us more about how everybody prefers a name calling bully.

We have much to learn, and you seem like the perfect teacher. School us.

...but seriously what is wrong with claiming your ethnic heritage?

My wife is only around 1½ to 2% Native American (according to 23andme, depending on statistical confidence level) but she is nevertheless a card-carrying member of her tribe. I cannot know with certainty whether this helped her win acceptance from Harvard, but it probably didn't hurt.

Those of you who've never lived in Oklahoma may well be surprised at the number of people here who claim sone tribal affiliation, either formally or else as part of longstanding family lore.

23+and other such services know that being desirous of First Immigrant status is a thing. So they tell me I am 2% too, with my C5Cxx mitochondrial genes. FIs are C1,2,3, and 7. All C';s are from east Asia. But some migrated across the land bridge, others went west to Europe. I am not Indian, I am Lithuanian. Unless when the Aliens in their UFOs were done probing Yata-ye they dropped him off on the wrong continent.

My niece is 1/4 Mexican. By her senior year in high school all of us had forgotten about having put her down as 'Mexican' on some papers back in elementary school. Turned out she was a National Hispanic Scholar. She got recruited by all the BIG IVY schools. She took the scholarship to Cornell. (quarter Mexican, but half Lithuanian :) )

So yeah, you've got a long way to go to convince some of us there is no preferential treatment for minorities.

and ooo: 1/4 Mexican makes her somewhere from 5-20% Injun. Yata-hey Elizabeth !

Have you considered simply coping with the idea that some of your many ancestors were aboriginal to the Americas?

(It's not all that bad, unless you were hoping to join a white nationalist movement.)

Is anyone here claiming that? I think we all know preferential treatment exists. It all goes back to when slaves were preferred to have one drop of black blood, blacks were preferred to live in other neighborhoods, and even currently when latinos are preferred to be on the other side of a border wall and blacks are preferred to not be driving or hanging out where they appear out of place.

Well, that's just silly compared to the "rigged, lying genetic test" theory.

Well, it gives you a snapshot of diversity hiring at Harvard in the early nineties. I'd hesitate to claim nothing has changed in the last 20 years.
