Elizabeth Warren: I Only Enrolled in Law School as a Minority to Meet Others With Tribal Roots

If Elizabeth Warren wanted to meet people like her, she’d have checked the “Marxist” box instead of “Native American.” In any case, Warren wants us to believe that she only said she was a minority (in spite of claiming to be only 1/32 Cherokee) to meet others who shared her tribal roots:

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, fending off questions about whether she used her Native American heritage to advance her career, said today she enrolled herself as a minority in law school directories for nearly a decade because she hoped to meet other people with tribal roots.

“I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am. Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off,” said Warren.

The Harvard Law professor argued she didn’t use her minority status to get her teaching jobs, and slammed her Republican rival U.S. Sen.Scott Brown for suggesting otherwise.

She apparently needed the camaraderie of others like her because unless you’ve ever been three percent minority you just can’t relate to what it’s like!

Kind of reminds me of the time I checked off my ancestry as “1/64th Samoan” in the college registry because I wanted to meet Polynesian chicks (I justified it by the fact that my great-great grandfather once briefly thought about visiting Manu’a).

Warren can prove she’s got Native American blood in her. How? Her Grandpa’s got high cheekbones! No, seriously:

    I work with engineers from Mexico, and I feel a camaraderie with them, because I was born in, until 1848, was San Diego, Alta California, Mexico. /sarc

    Airplane Johnny must be Ms. Warren's campaign manager:

    Ms. Warren: I watched the Lone Ranger and Tonto on TV once, Johnny, what can you make of it?

    Ridiculous. That woman looks Scandinavian. She looks like an IKEA shelf.

    Other evidence that Liz Warren is Native American: She can't grow a beard.

    Given her Progressive lifestyle, digging herself into this hole is probably the closest she's ever come to performing manual labor.

    Ms. Warren is as much Cherokee as Chastity Bono is a man – it’s all done with pharma and nip/tuck.

    My great, great, blah, blah, blah, had a face like the front end of an old Studebaker so am I actually a car?

    So when Warren says her grandfather is native american because he had the look does that also mean she is saying that anyone who looks like their pet is actually bred from that animal?

    Not over her …. sorry !

  10. SignPainterGuy on May 3rd, 2012 2:45 pm

    Just because the kittens were born in an oven does NOT make them biscuits !

    The 1/8th Cherokee girl I dated told me one has to be at least 1/16th Cherokee / Native American Indian to receive casino payouts to tribal members on the reservation !

    And YES, they refer to themselves as "Indians" !

    IKEA makes shelves from a range of materials, but how funny is that ?

    YOU stepped in it; I have no idea if you can get it off your shoe ! Sorry !

    Doug, have you not fed the moderator yet ? It ate another one !

    BTW, what flavors does the moderator NOT like ?

  14. Truesoldier__ on May 3rd, 2012 6:37 pm

    I hear she was born in America to. Doesn't that make her a native american as well?

  15. SignPainterGuy on May 3rd, 2012 7:59 pm

    Would that be the Studie that look much the same coming and going ? `52 ?

  16. jeffythequick on May 4th, 2012 2:46 pm

    That is why I was asking about the shelf…

    (turning power washer to shoe…)

  17. SignPainterGuy on May 4th, 2012 3:09 pm

    Is your dog handy to fetch the shoe when it blasts off into your neighbor`s yard ? 1500 psi can be dangerous, fascinating and fun all at once !

    I think it is pretty funny to find someone who looks like you. Ms. Warren looks like a Scandinavian woman.
