This will be used against them. Now people with 1% african heritage can start saying slurs and no one can do anything about it.

lol

Cultural appropriation is ok so long as you have at least 1% of whatever you are appropriating.

@shinsoo She claimed she was Native American to get a job.

or to help her get a job.

I mean the argument is absurd

but..like she is full of shit on it.

calling her Native American is ridiculous, aye

Yeah, we can argue if it even matters.

But by any means, her claim is specious and it's hard to call her native american.

Also, it could be that it was the university that wanted her to be listed as Native American. There are lots of programs that open up when you can make that claim (just as there are special grants for women and minority owned businesses).

She clearly went along with it at the very least.

As an aside, I think a lot of this shows how dumb IDPol and race is in things like affirmative action.

Clearly, if you draw the line a little (ok, way far out) to one side you can claim all sorts of things.

that would a shady in a whole different way

The whole thing is shady.

Which is why it keeps floating around.

Just saw Tim's video on Warren. Can confirm the math is wrong. It should be between 2^-6=1/64 and 2^-10=1/1012 Native American. Also should have 4 "greats" in "great-great-great-great grandmother" to be 6th generation. Why can't the Boston Globe do math?

math is hard

@pratel who has access to a calculator these days?

Just use an online one

WAT

Calculators and math are colonialism

Just slap a number in there

Elizabeth Warren confirmed cultural appropriator tho

"I didn't realize it was offensive to claim you are native american"

.... the left doesn't know that its racist to claim to be native american while clearly being white

seriously, this seems like the bs from the goddamn 60s

"i can't be racist, i'm 1/200th black"

"All of us are descended from Mitochondrial Eve so all of us can say the n word"

It the 1 Drop Blood rule that was too racist/extreme for the Nazis

That chart seems to have errors

there was one mistake

Hmm I was sure there was an existing document of the thing with a similar formt.

Still with warren's "heritage" i could stand next to a cherokee who was just shot in the head splattering me with cherokee blood and it would make me more cherokee than warren
