Elizabeth Warren has pushed back hard on questions about a Harvard Crimson piece in 1996 that described her as Native American, saying she had no idea the school where she taught law was billing her that way and saying it never came up during her hiring a year earlier, which others have backed up.
But a 1997 Fordham Law Review piece described her as Harvard Law School's "first woman of color," based, according to the notes at the bottom of the story, on a "telephone interview with Michael Chmura, News Director, Harvard Law (Aug. 6, 1996)."
The mention was in the middle of a lengthy and heavily-annotated Fordham piece on diversity and affirmative action and women. The title of the piece, by Laura Padilla, was "Intersectionality and positionality: Situating women of color in the affirmative action dialogue."
"There are few women of color who hold important positions in the academy, Fortune 500 companies, or other prominent fields or industries," the piece says. "This is not inconsequential. Diversifying these arenas, in part by adding qualified women of color to their ranks, remains important for many reaons. For one, there are scant women of color as role models. In my three years at Stanford Law School, there were no professors who were women of color. Harvard Law School hired its first woman of color, Elizabeth Warren, in 1995."

At this point, she'll NEVER say that she is an "American Indian."
What color? Black face paint? Warren has blue eyes, blonde hair and not one half ounce of booty back.
Ah, that Sue Warren, aka as “She who just stepped in Buffalo Shit”.
One of my Piscataway arrowheads has more “native American” in it than Warren has in all her family. The only “red” she has in her is her ideology.
"I told them I was an Indian, but it never occurred to me that they believed me!"
I’m constantly “accused” of being Native American (skin a bit on the darkish-reddish side, dark, longish hair, high cheekbones, etc.).
I’m not and don’t claim to be....and be damned sure I could pull it off if I hadn’t an ounce of self-respect or integrity.
Guess that says it all about this white-bread whose only real “color” is green for envying those who got invited to all the right schools, all the right parties.
LOL! Love it when liberals are hoist on their own petards!
I had one of those too. Never used ‘’Burnt Sienna’’ Couldn’t figure out what to color ‘’Burnt Sienna.’’
All racial quotas and related Bravo Sierra are un-American and should be stricken from every lawbook, statute, code or wherever else they crop up.
“First woman of color” - blah blah blah. Means nothing. Not in America. This is supposed to be a meritocracy. Period.
She's about as native as this.
She totally has that full-blown bureaucrat glaze in her eyes... Wonder if there’s going to be a new Racial Identity Rights movement parallel to the Gender Identity b.s.
But remember blonde singer-actress Connie Stevens, who really is part American Indian.
Re the beautiful Connie Stevens, WHAT PART(S)?
I’d have taken any part, just saying.
Indians are “people of color” in the same category as blacks?
I know some who would beat the tar out of anybody who said that.
Fauxahontas Crockagawea is Pinkish-White.
Pinkish-White is a color.
Arrest her for the murder, torture and scalping of thousands of innocent people.
If we can be held accountable for the deeds of English slavers 300 years ago she can be held accountable for the heritage she claims.
Book her Dano. Charge her with impersonating a savage.
I’ve discovered her true roots:
The Hekawi tribe and tribal members
The Hekawi tribe supposedly derived their name from an incident in which the tribe became lost, exclaiming “Where the heck are we?”, which then became “We’re the Hekawi” The original name for the tribe, ‘Fugawi’, was to be changed after the censors discovered the sentence “Where the Fugawi?”[1] They are partners in O’Rourke Enterprises and produce most of the company’s products. They are a peace-loving tribe, (mainly due to cowardice). The chicken-hearted braves of the Hekawis, “the tribe that invented the peace pipe”, are “lovers, not fighters”, according to their leader. Agarn has to teach them how to do a war dance. They have a 50/50 deal with O’Rourke and have a still which produces the whiskey for the saloon. As a sly jest based on the myth that Native Americans are the 13th tribe of Israel, many of the Hekawi Indians were played by veteran Yiddish comedians using classic Yiddish shtick. The regular “Indian” characters (none of whom were played by Native American actors) include:
Chief Wild Eagle (Frank DeKova) – the shrewd, cranky but essentially good-natured leader of the Hekawi tribe, and business partner in the illegal O’Rourke Enterprises scheme. Like all the Indian characters portrayed in F Troop, he speaks in a Burlesque-Indian, broken English dialect. Often O’Rourke, Agarn, Parmenter, and Jane come to him for advice when they have a problem. Wild Eagle has an old Indian saying for every occasion, which even he sometimes admits he does not know the meaning of. He is portrayed as being the brother-in-law of Sitting Bull and the cousin of Geronimo. Wild Eagle once said that the peaceful Hekawis originally lived in Massachusetts, until the Pilgrims arrived and “ruined the neighborhood”. DeKova’s contribution to the series was deemed so important that, beginning in the second season, he is listed in the opening credits.
Crazy Cat (Don Diamond) – Chief Wild Eagle’s assistant and heir apparent. He often speculates on when he will become chief, and is subsequently rebuked by Chief Wild Eagle. He is not a featured character until the second season. “Craze” (as O’Rourke and Agarn sometimes call him) does become “acting chief” in an episode titled, “Our Brave in F Troop” (when O’Rourke and Agarn have to somehow sneak Wild Eagle into Fort Courage to see the army dentist so he can get his tooth pulled). Crazy Cat humorously comments on the situation, “When Wild Eagle away, Crazy Cat play.”

Color Elizabeth Warren a stupid, lying, liberal, blue-eyed, Bit#h.
Meanwhile, Harvard officially refuses to release their records on Warren’s “ethnicity”.
But this should not be a surprise as Harvard still refuses to release President Obama’s transcripts.
