Elizabeth Warren's "Pocahontas" Problem?

[Vosem]

Whoops. She lied.

No she didn't. Read the article again.

She did. First she said she didn't know Harvard had her listed as a minority. Then she said she provided that information herself, which means she already knew.

"At some point after I was hired by them..."

After. Not before.

When she told Harvard she was Native American is beside the point. She claimed she never did so, but in actuality she did, even if it wasn't exactly at the time most people assumed. She lied.

When did she ever claim she wasn't part Native American?

She never claimed she wasn't part Native American, but she did claim she was unaware that Harvard had registered her as Native American until recently admitting (krazen posted a link) that she had told the university she was Native American.

The only thing the article proves is that she was telling the truth all along.

That article clearly demonstrates that she lied.

Go ahead. Live in denial. The proof she told the truth is right there in plain sight.

Have you even looked at the article? She lied about registering as a Native American. She said she didn't, but she did.

No but it doesn't mean you have the right to go around calling yourself a Native American.

According to the Census Bureau, I would. I might not meet the Cherokees' blood quantum, but I'd meet the Census Bureau's definition of Native American, as long as I identified as such.

I have an ethnically Greek friend who identifies as 'Other' because he thinks it will help him get into a college. He's encouraged me (I am Ashkenazi Jewish, but have very dark skin) to also do so.

I give up. Some people are just thick-skulled.

I am going to sig this.
