Oh, now she's
NOT a colored person. How interesting.
The Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren conceded that she is not actually a person of color, undermining her longtime claim that she has trace amounts of Native American heritage, which she used to obtain a job at Harvard Law School that could have gone to a person of color.

Billy, I thought the argument that Warren used Native American ancestry to get a job at Harvard has been debunked...several times. IS this a case of telling a lie often enough?
They accepted her claim and used it in the employment assessment.
Billy, this is from Snopes..the part you didn't read:
"The Globe obtained a portion of Warren’s application to Rutgers, which asks if prospective students want to apply for admission under the school’s Program for Minority Group Students. Warren answered “no.”For her employment documents at the University of Texas, Warren indicated that she was “white.”
But Penn’s 2005 Minority Equity Report identified her as the recipient of a 1994 faculty award, listing her name in bold to signify that she was a minority.
The Herald has twice quoted Charles Fried, the head of the Harvard appointing committee that recommended Warren for her position in 1995, saying that the Democratic candidate’s heritage didn’t come up during the course of her hiring. “It simply played no role in the appointments process,” he said. “It was not mentioned and I didn’t mention it to the faculty.”
The Herald later quoted Fried, a former U.S. Solicitor General under President Ronald Reagan, saying, “I can state categorically that the subject of her Native American ancestry never once was mentioned.”
The whole magilla is because of a campaign speech from Scott Brown, who used it like a Trump tactic the way he 'heard somewhere' that Ted Cruz' father helped Oswald kill Kennedy. Warren's oppo grabbed it up like manna from heaven. But I never thought I'd see you, of all people, beating a dead horse, so to speak. Reach inside and ask yourself why you don't like Warren. If you peel away all the gossipy crap, I bet you'll find it is because of her party, surely not because of the consumer protections she advocates.
