Oops! Maybe her cheekbones weren’t high enough.
Squaw all wampum, no feathers.
Any person who puts ambition before integrity should not be entrusted with power over others.
Even if Warren thought the family stories she cites about her heritage were true, she should have had more integrity and been hesitant to use unsubstantiated family lore on an application. Even if verified (which to my knowledge her claims haven’t been), a small amount of ‘blood’ heritage with a minority group doesn’t make you underprivileged or deserving of special consideration. If all of us did genetic testing (e.g. ‘23 and Me) I’m sure some of us would find some previously unknown connection to a minority group of sorts. Would that justify describing yourself as a minority on an application? It’s ludicrous.

“We were constantly concerned about the fact that Harvard was doing a terrible job relative to peer institutions at recruiting American Indian students, despite the fact that Harvard was founded in its original charter to educate American Indians,” Clarkson said.
I resent the fact that someone can get special privileges solely based on the country of origin of a selected one of one’s ancestors.
If only one of your great great grandparents belonged to a government-certified victim group, YOU have special privileges, for nothing that you did.
On the other hand, if a person can’t trace any government-certified victims in one’s ancestry, he is $hit, and branded guilty of all the evils in the world.
Completely wrong!
She was in a bind. She could have spoken to them in her fluent Cherokee, but then she would offend the Choctaws and members of other tribes who wouldn’t be able to understand her, but if she insisted on speaking in English they would doubt her Cherokee ancestry.
