"Woman of color?" LOOK at her. She's friggin' lily-white.
Honestly who cares? If she weren't qualified for her position, she would have been fired almost immediately. That's all that matters!

Rachel Dolezal, for one. Look at what happened to her for faking to be a minority race/ethnicity she wasn't: She lost her university teaching job, was kicked out of her presidency at the NAACP chapter, and she's now a public pariah.

As goes Rachel Dolezal, so goes Elizabeth Warren. Fakers, for career advancement and personal profit.

^^^^^^This. Many politicians of both parties say they won't run for something, then all of a sudden they do. Pay attention to what politicians do, not what they SAY.

There is a BIG difference. Dolezal's job was at the NAACP. Where Warren's is at a University, and not a race specific one!

Warren's jobs were at TWO universities where she MISREPRESENTED herself as a Native American.

Rachel Dolezal LOST her college teaching job for lying about her race/ethnicity. Warren should be kicked out of the Senate for doing the same.

Since WHEN do minorities consider it acceptable for Whites to misrepresent themselves as minorities for professional gain and personal profit? It's only OK if Dems do it? Or can anyone do it? /puke

Warren didn't profit from claiming to be part Native American. And besides, Dolezal claimed to be full black so again big difference

Tell that to Penn, who published her name as a "minority faculty award winner," and to Harvard, who bragged in the Crimson about her being the first Native American law faculty member.

BOTH Penn and Harvard claimed Warren as a minority token hire.

Warren is the Rachel Dolezal of Penn, Harvard, and Massachusetts. Congrats. /SMH
I already indicated the selection committee wasn't even aware of her ethnic background, she taught at several other universities and was respected for her work on bankruptcy law. They hired her because she was eminently qualified for the position which she originally turned down. She claimed she was white on her applications that were made public, if you have a comments from the selection committee or an application where she claimed she was native American lets see it.


Try to make your argument relative to Warren rather than deflecting to Dolezal.

Well, I just looked at her ancestor's census and various other records on ancestry.com. Every single person, paternal and maternal, identify as white. This is even going back into the early 1800's. This is all 16 great great grandparents and their descendants to Elizabeth. She's lucky in that her family is pretty well documented, some of us aren't. It's not uncommon for some of us to claim native American ancestry, but when family lore is disproven, it's disproven.

Yo, fellow GOPers, enough with the politics of personal destruction. It's time to let the Pocahontas thing rest. If we turn her into a martyr there's going to be a sympathetic backlash.
