The question for me would be whether she also identifies herself as white. If she chose both, then I see no issue. Also problematic is the tendency for others who review these documents to list a person who identifies more than one heritage as only one of them.

I have literally every so-called racial group (broadly speaking) in my heritage. However, I tend identify with two of them, while recognizing the others. In the past, I have had to choose one on a number of applications or only one is recorded. That doesn’t mean that I do not identify as the other.

On her registration for the Texas bar she wrote "American Indian", despite being about 99.999% white and maybe .0001% Native American. A blatant lie. I don't see her recovering from this. Most Americans are fed up with pathological liars.

I'm going to use her logic. I'm part of a recognized minority. I'm putting "Neanderthal" on my next application, and I have the 23andme DNA proof. (seriously, I have more Neanderthal DNA than 98% off the population. I always wonder about my well defined eyebrows.)

And everyone better not diss me for it!

So easy, a caveman could do it.

We have a racist president to prides himself on, by his own words, "controlling women by grabbing them by the *****." What kind of a woman would support any man who made such a demeaning statement against women? Is is possible that there are women who enjoy being grabbed by the *****?

How can anyone Trump supporter point a finger at Sen Warren when they voted for the most vulgar president in history?

Cognitive dissonance?

Hey, if Eric Cartman can claim to be transgendered and get his own bathroom for it then why can't Warren claim native American? Seems like a double standard to me.


My wife always tells me that I'm black, from the waist down. So, maybe I should start putting African American on some of my future questionnaires.

Apparently, you've never heard men's locker room talk. They all brag about their supposed "conquests," and they all know it's all BS.
