"A man who cannot be honest to himself, can be honest to no man". Lying to yourself and others about your own ancestry is unforgivable. One small branch of my ancestry traces back to the Boers of South Africa. So now can I claim that my lily-white a$$ is African-American? Keep on keepin' on with the woman person.

Thanks El Nox. And great points you bring up. That's my hangup in all of this.....content of character, using her 1/32 version of native american to check the "minority" box.
Elizabeth Warren and Cherokee heritage: what is known about allegations - CSMonitor.com
"1. Warren listed herself as a minority. The Association of American Law Schools (AALS) directory included, as of its 1986-87 edition, a list of "minority law teachers." Warren, then at the University of Texas, was on the list. Moving to the University of Pennsylvania the next year, she continued to be on the minority list through the directory's 1994-95 edition. The later years of her listing coincided with her recruitment by Harvard Law School, initially as a visiting professor. "
And exactly, we can all go back in our own chain of ancestry and probably find lots of 1/32's, 1/64's of this/that/the other thing. But I don't think a person of character would use such a small background as defining themselves as a "minority", checking the "minority" box as a result. That's just abusing the system in my view. And in my opinion, for nothing more but using the system for personal selfish gain. That's unacceptable behavior in my view.
So here we have clinton/warren working together. One thing that does make sense in this pairing....2 people in my view that have zero moral compass and 2 people that no one on this forum as of yet can tell me what their accomplishments are/how they served/helped people that voted them in. Like attracts like once again.
