A political opponent running for the office Sen. Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) holds as Senator of Massachusetts, was punched in the face by one of her supporters at a rally this afternoon.
Too funny. The OP uses a racial slur in the title of this thread, while calling someone else a racist. Too funny.
Calling a person of native American descent that would be racist. Mocking someone over an apparently false (or unproven) claim that they're a minority would not be racist.
Imagine if Trump tried to claim he had Mexican heritage to get some contract advantage 30 years ago. People would be calling him out with mockery with signs like "Vote No on El Trumpo"....which wouldn't be racist, they'd be anti-Trump.
P.S. Please note that I'm logically explaining my position and giving examples and not just writing the equivalent of "Yes it is" or "No it isn't".

Trump and his family lied and said they were Swedish because they thought being German would put them at a disadvantage in business. And they lied knowingly.
I don't know whether Warren is really Native American or not. I would think most people whose families have lived in that part of the country for that long believe they have some Native American blood.

What's even more ironic is that JAMS14's perfectly reasonable post would have been flagged as trolling and deleted if the other moderator had been patrolling this forum instead of you.
You seem to realize that tensions are high on both sides, and you moderate with an even hand. Unfortunately, some of your peers have been running interference for the alt-right. Spouting racist views is O.K.; calling someone out for spouting racist views is "trolling."
Everyone with any sense knows the OP was not using a racial slur. Everyone knows what the OP did was shed light on an ultra liberal who inappropriately used race to gain advantage,.
further the OP points out the utter hypocrisy of the left (especially those in this thread attacking the OPs use of the term).
Pocahontas Warren committed a major sin of the left by using Cultural Appropriation. And the left defends her.
its sick that the left still stands up for her and attacks those that point out her terrible actions.
