Since all-knowing queen of minorities, Elizabeth Warren sayeth so, thus all democrat followers must fall in line to the doctrine put in front of them.


All praise thy holy doctrine of Elizabeth Warren!!!

it is only racist to the racists who treat all native americans the same without respecting their cultural differences.

Pocahontas makes fun of Warrens BS use of minority status when it serves her, it does not make fun of native Americans

If you call a buddy pretending to be in the military "sarge," are you making a derogatory remark towards military members or just making fun of your buddy for being a dumbass?

quote:

Harvard Law School in the 1990s touted Warren, then a professor in Cambridge, as being "Native American." They singled her out, Warren later acknowledged, because she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory. Critics note that she had not done that in her student applications and during her time as a teacher at the University of Texas.

You can still say Sacagawea without repercussion.

I dunno; is it racist to pretend you're native american so that you can get a job at Harvard or some such shite that Fauxcahontas already did?...

My favorite part of this is how everytime he talks about this he always says something like “some people say” or “they call her” when it’s literally only him I’ve ever heard call her that

I've heard many call her that, but even more call her "Crapagawea" or "Lieawatha"....or "Spitting Bull".

are people saying its a racist slur?

or are people saying that speaking to a native american veterans group might not have been the best place to call a fully white woman Pocahontas, even if you call her that constantly as part of a running joke?
