If I might make one suggestion before the updated version of the “Pow Wow Chow” cookbook is released: Next time, Liz, hold the mayo.
Even if you were 1/1000th Native American — which you’re not — and even if Cherokees did hold pow wows — which Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes told the Herald yesterday they don’t — even then, your contribution to authentic teepee cuisine is “Crab With Tomato Mayonnaise Dressing?”
Why didn’t you throw in Tuna Casserole and Some Twinkies while you’re at it?
Like her recipe (“serve salad with remaining mayo on the side”), everything about Liz Warren screams “I’m white!”
In fact, I doubt you know anyone who is more “white” than Professor Pow Wow Chow. Her blond hair, her blue eyes, her pale, freckled skin, her wealth, her white-collar job at a “white-kid” Ivy League college, her liberal-suburbs-white-lady politics — Liz Warren is a walking, talking tribute to “Guilty, Affluent White People Who Listen To NPR” American culture.
Which is why it’s so offensively shocking to read report after report about Warren as a “woman of color.” That’s the exact phrase used 15 years ago in an in-depth article from the Fordham University Law Review about minority women in academia: “Harvard Law School hired its first woman of color, Elizabeth Warren, in 1995.”
And she’s got the cookbook to prove it!
Nobody cares that Liz Warren is not really 1/32nd or 1/64th Native American. What’s off-putting is that Warren is so clearly not a minority member in any meaningful sense of the word.
When this article and others were published describing Warren this way, she should have objected. She should have corrected the record on behalf of those Americans who have truly suffered because of their race. But instead she spent her career, as she put it, “checking the box.”
Here’s the reaction to Warren’s self-serving box-checking from “Polly’s Granddaughter,” a Cherokee Indian and genealogist in an open letter to Harvard Law’s “first woman of color”:
“You say you only ‘checked the box’ in an attempt to meet others like you, but that doesn’t make sense. If one is claiming to be Cherokee and wants to meet other Cherokees, they don’t ‘check a box’ on a job application or in a directory for their profession! They go to where Cherokees are.”
“You are from Oklahoma!” (emphasis in original)
Polly’s Granddaughter is absolutely right. As I’ve written previously, my mom was born in Oklahoma, and her great-grandmother, Nancy Hill, was a Cherokee from the Oklahoma territories. I also attended college in Tulsa, Okla. Meeting Indians in Oklahoma is as easy as knocking on a neighbor’s door and saying “Hi, wanna come over for some crab-and-mayonnaise salad?”
Being from Oklahoma also means there’s a good chance Warren also encountered anti-Indian prejudice first-hand. I only lived there a few years, and I did. I ran into some Okies who spoke about Native Americans the way the worst Southern whites talked about black Americans.
Those are the Native Americans the phrase “person of color” is intended for, not “Former member of ABBA” look-alike Liz Warren.
She knows this. She’s known it her whole life. Yet she’s chosen to play the role of suffering minority member, thereby making a mockery of the real suffering of others
I've watched people use the system so badly that I want to puke choke. The worse, for me, are the Chinese. For the MOST part they don't need the entitlement funds because they are (as I said, for the most part) successful--but they take the dough.
It's all part of this problem of entitlement. Who the HELL gave ANYONE over 18, mentally competent and physically healthy the RIGHT or authority to take money because, boo-hoo, my ancestors were treated right or "my" ethnic group doesn't have as big a piece of the pie (MONEY) as the whites?!
MAJOR BULLSHIT baloney category.
The new meme being circulated on the local blogs is that she was recruited by Penn and Harvard and there was no application for her to check off. That’s not how it’s done at Ivy League schools. I guess Job Applications are only for us little people.
There is a plus here for Lizzie the Liar.
Being a rich white liberal (hypocrite) means never being embarrassed. It can’t be done.
I haven’t seen any polls, but seeing as how this is Massachusetts, I’m thinking this is not going to deter that many Dems from voting for her.
!
That was put out by a fellow Law Professor who contributed $250 to her campaign. I don't buy it. I have been recruited for jobs and H.R. always has made me fill out an application form. If anything the form allows H.R. to perform a background check on myself as I sign a waiver on the form.
Imagine that.
Of course northerners are never racist.
Okay, perhaps I have been marinated in our “politically correct” culture for too long; but, isn’t the very title of that book, “Pow Wow Chow” offensive? I mean, really, Pow Wow Chow???
Coakley couldn’t get the minorites out to vote for her. I don’t think being a fake Indian will help Warren in that department.
My eldest daughter (some years ago)took piano lessons from a Chinese lady. She was a single mother with one daughter; and, when my girl was looking at colleges she enthusiastically told me that there are lots and lots of scholarships out there. I nearly laughed in her face (I didn't); but, it really struck me that this woman honestly believed the BS that they were now getting things that "Whites" had always gotten.
“I mean, really, Pow Wow Chow???”
As opposed to a Chow Pow Wow, which is a breakout session at a dog show. (The four-legged version, not those sponsored by the National Organization of Women — NOW Pow Wows.)
Could our Native American Brothers file a Class Action Lawsuit for fraudulently trying to include herself in a well-defined Racially Profiled population?
Lemme see now, - - - hmmmmmmm - - - ? If it is against Federal Law to Racially Profile, and Princess Running Weasel has tried to be racially profiled, and it turns out that she is not a Princess, - - - ? (This must be DC Code, as it is very complex)!
Since Lizzie, the “Running Weasel” has been excluded from the Reservation, the voter should voters her out, without reservation.
You may well be correct. I just don't see mass defections from the left.
Again, it's not only Lizzie the Lair that can't be embarrassed, most of the voting libs can't either.
“People should show up at her campaign appearences (if she’s even doing any now) and do the tomahawk chop and chant like Atlanta Braves fans do.”
They should sing the Washington Redskins fight song “Hail to the Redskins.” The PC crowd hates that team name and song. That is why I always bet on the Redskins.
Or wear Cleveland Indians hats.

Urk. Certainly not. There were more deserters from the Blue Devil army when these boys found out they were getting their legs blown off to "free the slaves" - than there were soldiers in the entire Southern Federal Resistance.
Slavery - 100 years later - gave birth to the tyranny of low expectaions entitlement culture. IMO
I knew she reminded me of Lizzy Borden somehow. Now I have that running through my head. LOL

Now the nation mocks
Our own precious Princess Lying Tree
Her speak with forked tongue. I once saw her at a party and she speared two olives out of a dish at the same time with that tongue.
