When it is said and meant in a derogatory fashion - -of course.

This seems to have totally been over looked.

A slur huh? Keep sucking on that false outrage bottle. I guess Disney should be sued into bankruptcy because they have made hundreds of millions of dollars off the term "Pochahontas."

Racist? No. But calling out someone at an event meant to honor them and instead he takes time to insult Warren? Come one show some self-control. It's like when he went to the boy scout event he has no couth.

None of which indicates she used affirmative action to gain entrance.

Uh, no.

If you believe that her claim is untrue, you must prove that or give it up.

She owes you (and that king of fakers Trump) nothing.

If I was to claim, for instance, that Trump was never on the cover of Time magazine, or you that were a Russian bot, the burden of proof would be on me. I accept that as reasonable, I will not make any charges that I can not prove.

So where is your evidence?

Link to the facts on this one.

No school has admitted that the reason they hired her was because she was listed as a minority.

Maybe they hired her because she was a female.

Maybe they hired because she was qualified.

But to just assume -- because you don't like liberals that she was hired because of Affirmative Action is a bit of a stretch.

Public Joke? He must have used the work 1,000 or more times.
He'd too stupid to come up with a coherent debate so he uses bullying tactics just like a 19 year old construction crew.
