Typical lib, can’t make it on their own merits.
Being a foreign student worked for Obama all through college.
A major reason these people demanded all these preference catagories in the first place was so they could use them to get ahead.
Remember, “truth” is an artificial construct to liberals. Facts, logic, objectivity... all are synthetic systems conceived by the dominant culture to perpetuate it’s unequal status and impose apartheid-like burdens on other ethnic groups.
For this reason, “truth” is malleable, fungible, flexible. It can be distorted to suit the goals of the enlightened oppressed. In short, liberals don’t have to tell the truth. They can do, say, write, claim whatever is necessary to get ahead. They have no pangs of conscience about it.
They do react in amusing ways when they’re caught out, and their faculty-lounge logic gets punctured by stinging satire.
Oh how this must be driving Elizabeth Warren — and her backers — up the wall.
I have gotten the biggest HOOT out of all this. My mother and I have tagged it: “Woo-woo Gate”. We are of Cherokee lineage, but it’s never even crossed our MINDS to, somehow, USE that for our own benefit, or to score points. It’s utterly ridiculous.
I will say, tho, that our family suffered at the hands of that GREAT Democrap.......ANDREW JACKSON...and that my relatives were afraid to admit that they were Indian for fear of being sent to a reservation. Perhaps dear Elizabeth can expound on THAT, little fact? Hmmmm?
I sometimes check the ‘native american’ box merely because I was born in and hence indigenous to the Americas (the US specifically), have no meaningful connection to any other continent, and am tired of nosey forms that care about my ‘ethnicity.’
Faux-cohontas.
“people who are like I am.”
What does that even mean?
Can I claim African-American status because my family lore says I really can dance?
