Maybe Trumps team had obtained a saliva sample from glass Pocahantas was drinking from and he knew her DNA results...that is why he kept daring her to prove her lineage.I think he does good opp. research before he makes outrageous statements...most noticeably the Obama spygate comments...would not be surprised if he had his trolling mapped out beforehand..JUST AN IDEA...but he loves to make outrageous statements that get opposition coocoo then he displays the info....
Exactly. People keep saying “Harvard”. It was UofPenn that she went to, though I don’t know if she put NA on her application.
The other thing many are not reporting on are her home loan applications. Apparently she flipped a lot of homes. Did she use this claim to gain favorable loans with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac? Academic fraud is one thing. Would that be loan fraud?
I use the term "Native American" for clarity, since Indians are people who immigrated from India or their descendents. The term "Indian" is completely incorrect when applied to the indigenous people of the Americas, the vast majority of whom have no Indian ancestry and have never even visited India. I was acutely aware of this fact when I was vacationing overseas and explaining dreamcatchers to an Indian.
The bottom line is that we need a better generic term to describe the indigenous people of the Americas. I am also a native; almost all of my ancestors immigrated in the 1600s. The "Native American" ones immigrated earlier.
How about American Indigene? it even sounds similar.
It. Damned shift key.
any bets as to whether or not HLS scarfed a Federal Grant to fund the position?
For the final nail, the republicans should find some actual native american who tried to get a job at harvard and was rejected.
Then they could argue that she TOOK the space that was for a real minority.
Because she clearly did. Harvard was under pressure to hire minorities, and by listing her as a minority, it took some pressure off to hire another minority.
It wasn’t a victimless act.
The Haaaaavvvvaaaard position probably came down to Ward Churchill and Elizabeth Warren, and she got the position because the western tribes blew the whistle on Ward.
