Rin saysdoik saysReality saysWarren committed fraud when checking that box and claimed her mother was discriminated against for being Native American.
This is a completely unfounded attack. You are grasping at straws. The fact that you would even try such an argument shows how out-of-touch with reality you are. You don't even realize how unpersuasive this argument is to anyone who isn't part of your extremist ideology.
Actually doik, it's you doesn't know reality. Sure, Liz's mom probably exaggerated stuff in terms of family lore, I mean c'mon, didn't everyone have someone in their family who embellished WWI or WWII stories for the sonic effects? Or perhaps, if you're from an even older world family, some massacre in Eastern E...
This is spot on
What really should happen is no ethnicity questions should ever be asked by an employer, the government,
You guys are acting like you're in a cult. Has politics become a cult? This is not good for our country.
It didn't used to be this bad.
This forum should now be called RightWingCircleJerk.net. Or perhaps TrumpCuckCircleJerk.net.
Half the threads and comments are right wingers stroking themselves, and eachother.
Or have you watched your fellow Democrats support Antifa tactics, obviously false claims against Kavanah, and defending the undefensible Warren as a Cherokee claims.
Whites - 0.2% Native American ancestry.
Latinos - 18% Native American ancestry (20% of population)
Blacks - 0.8% Native American ancestry

Actually, it was worse, but mostly left sided with Iwog and Dan spamming the forum non-stop.
Dan was on occasions extremely interesting, and also consistent in what he said. I enjoyed reading him.
Thanks @dr6B that's a really interesting article.

The Iwog's and Dan's were butthurt immediately after the election and vanished.

Unfortunately, that has palpable real world consequences, like being bragged about as a minority hire. Nor was Harvard the only time Warren used "Native American" in an application process. It was beneficial to both her and the employer.
I would call this a problem with Harvard, not Warren. Any time I hear a company bragging about minority hires or being woman-old, I hear racism and sexism. Everything should be a meritocracy. The problem is with Affirmative Action, not with anyone checking off checkboxes about ethnic backgrounds.
the desire of Academia and Corporations to have a "diverse" workforce
patrick.net has lost a lot of users over the past five years. You don't see any of the moderates here anymore.
Personally, I wish a lot of the old users would come back and patrick.net had a politically diverse set of users that reflected America at large. It was a more interesting site when different sides were represented and did talk to each other. Unfortunately, over time everything degraded to a shit throwing contest
iWog and Dan to verbally abuse each other until they finally got bored of it and the
Then Patrick decided to ban the insults and moderate the site somewhat. Simple rule: don’t insult the other users. This decision was already unpopular with the primary offenders iWog and Dan, and when Patrick made Goran the politics moderator instead of iWog who wanted the job with the heat of a thousand suns, he threw an epic shit fit and left. Same with Dan.
I also miss Vincent, emmae, and turtle dove
Iwog and Dan insulted some users, but only after those users were far more abusive
Meme bombing "debate": for people with attention spans just long enough to read a meme. Some of them are funny though.

The Left can't Meme.

A lot of that is because the country is splitting.
I'm a moderate. I could have voted for Bernie - but thought Trump had the P&V to not only win but to get shit done. My guess has turned out right.
My #1 issues were anti-"Free" Trade Extremist, followed by controlling Unfettered Immigration (esp. unvetted Middle Easterners and Rapefugees), and anti-SJW. I've gotten much of what I wanted.
Hillary and Bernie both would have accommodated the SJWs and extreme mass immigration forces, Bernie might have done something with Trade (but a GOPe-Dem Neoliberal coalition in Congress would have stopped him), but Hillary certainly wouldn't have had.
The contention that Hillary who spent years campaigning for TPP as the Gold Standard and talking it up a...
