George Zimmerman, the son of a Peruvian mestiza, is the embodiment of endemic white racism and the reincarnation of Bull Connor, but Elizabeth Warren, the great-great-great-granddaughter of someone who might possibly have been listed as Cherokee on an application for a marriage license, is a heartwarming testimony to how minorities are shattering the glass ceiling in Harvard Yard.

Good point, but I don't know about the language. If I remember right, in some countries mestizo/mestiza refered only to those who were part Native and part European in ancestry and other words refered to those with other racial blends or mixtures, while in other countries it was the term for all people of mixed ancestry.

Alas, the actual original marriage license does not list Great-Great-Great-Gran'ma as Cherokee, but let's cut Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Crockagawea Warren some slack here. She couldn't be black. She would if she could, but she couldn't. But she could be 1/32nd Cherokee, and maybe get invited to a luncheon with others of her kind – "people who are like I am," 31/32nds white – and they can all sit around celebrating their diversity together. She is a testament to America's melting pot, composite pot, composting pot, whatever.

Normally, you can point to a sentence in a Steyn column and say,”Here, HERE is the money quote!”

This one doesn't have one - they're ALL money quotes!
