    I do have a question, you are just ignoring it because it dissolves your narrative. As for me defending Warren, that is not true — I will not be voting for her — I just believe this is a silly argument based on political narrative.

    Your question doesn't make sense. That should be obvious... if you weren't trying to defend Warren.

    Looks like he just wanted to move up a few rungs the quick and easy way without earning it... This is the type of monster democrats have created.

    Did she pay back all the money she was paid in college for being a Native American professor?

    My question does make sense, should she be held accountable for what her parents told her?
    If you have evidence that she was never told this then that would change the discussion, but so far you are posting nothing but assumptions.

    Do you have evidence that she would have not gotten the position had she not checked that specific box?

    Which she admitted to after she received DNA evidence.
    Why can none of you answer such a simple question?

    “I know who I am because of what my mother and my father told me, what my grandmother and my grandfather told me, what all my aunts and uncles told me, and my brothers,” Ms. Warren said.”

    So again, it goes back to what she was told.
    I have seen nothing to refute her beliefs and this conversation has grown into a back and forth with no evidence outside of a blog post...

    Like I said previously, the narrative is partisan in nature.

    The larger issue is that people are advanced or held back due to their ethnicity.

    So even though her parents didn't elope you believe it was her parents who made up that awful story smearing her grandparents?

    In today’s liberal America (dominated by identity politics) you can identify any way that you want.

    I’ve identified myself as Tom Brady since 2001.

    No idea, I don’t claim to know her interpersonal relationships or what they advised her.
    From personal experience I found out numerous instances I was lied to in my youth — mostly harmless — but every family is different.

    Do you have evidence of her family stating that they never told her this?

    How someone appears does not automatically their genes. I had an Italian girlfriend that used a tanning salon and people thought she was Puerto Rican. Using appearance alone is a poor method.

    Thinking you're Irish but being mostly Scottish is not the same as getting special privileges by saying you're NA but finding out you're not NA. I always thought I was Irish, too, but most of my DNA is Scottish. Absolutely no difference other than location, and it makes Outlander (the series) even more interesting. A better comparison would be like saying you're an Arab but finding out you're German.

    I've never met a Native American that looked as white as Elizabeth Warren and I went to lots of time at powwows on Oklahoman reserves with the old Jail Administrator at a jail I used to go to, to repair broken inmate telephones when I was a technician.

    There's nothing NA about this girl

    Lou Diamond Phillips could have passed as Native American. He's Filipino.
    Joanna Gaines could have passed as Native American. She's Lebanese and Korean.

    Exactly. The lengths some people go to basically approve of people intentionally falsifying their race and color. As if this guy was either Kenyan or Tanzanian but we couldn't quite tell.....lol

    She didn't admit to crap.

    She was dancing around acting like being 1/1024th central american was proof of her claim, until people pointed out how stupid she was.

    How many lies has Trump told?

    I don’t disagree, but there is no evidence that she was not told this as a child and brought that belief into her adult life. If she was really trying to hide this and knew it was a lie — why would she publicly release the results of her DNA test? She didn’t have to.

    You can essentially be trans-whatever, so long as it plays into some sort of progressive narrative.
