Mass. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren explains past listing of Native American heritage
Washington Post ^ | May 2, 2012

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Wednesday she listed herself as having Native American heritage in law school directories because she hoped to meet people with similar roots.

“I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group, something that might happen with people who are like I am,” Warren said during a campaign appearance in Braintree, according to the Boston Herald.

The listing did not produce any such contacts, and she later stopped using it, Warren said.

You can track back to Ferdinand and Isabella but even they’d had a hard time qualifying for Hispanic status ~ and when it comes to their descendant (grandson I believe), PhilippeI I of Spain, he was KING OF ENGLAND!

Actually it was Phillip’s wife, “Bloody” Mary Tudor, was the granddaughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, not Phillip.

But I don’t think the fact they served as English monarchs disqualifies either of them, or their descendents, for hispanic status, according to the generally accepted rules for affirmative action.

Brown should invite the Malone brothers to one of his campaign events. (If they're still alive.)

No, they didn't ever live here so they could never fall within the pale of American law.

BTW, current EEOC rules would probably allow Queen Mary to claim rights to any special civil rights protections her husband, King Philippe had ~ that's a little known provision in the categories ~ Justice Thomas wrote that one!

I don't think Philippe needed any special protections though!

I went back over the federal standards and King and/or Queen of England aren't in the qualifications.

Not even the Nazis (who didn’t counted you Jewish if you were less than 1/4 Jewish) would count a 1/32 Indian as an Indian. The Democrats in the South said you were Black if you had 1/8 Black blood but 1/16 would make you White.

Democrats are sick racists.
