      There’s this tacit belief among white liberals that a brief period in the 80s/90s when universities experimented with affirmative action was the but-for cause that denied all of them access to the Ivy League -> Dream Job -> International Celebrity status.

      Elizabeth Warren is their spirit animal because she beat the system by lying on her application, something they all desperately wanted to do but were to craven to attempt themselves.

      This is literally the only defense I’ll make of Warren but saying you have native ancestry because you’re 1/128th indigenous is the closest white people get to culture.

      I could literally find you Facebook pages with local chuds making fun of her and comparing themselves to warrior chieftains in the same screenshot.
