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.
That would make a great tag line.
