elizabeth warren isn't even native herself. she's been dragged by native american activists for years over this which makes this double worse. edited for misspelling, mods

she's been told for years to quit it by native american activists and she clearly enjoys it so i think she'll keep pushing it as long and as hard as she can which is very inappropriate. unfortunately tho, it's a very american thing to pipe up and claim that you have ~native blood in you~ and it's not just from white people wanting to be special, either. it's a very, very ugly thing that people enjoy boasting about while, yanno, ignoring actual living, breathing native americans. it turned me off of her a long time ago, and to see it raised like this is just. yikes.

I was actually thinking about posting an op-ed (by a Native American) about it but i'm not sure if I should. I just had a conversation with my mom about it because her co-worker's that are Native American (professors who work w/Anthropology and Genealogy) are pissed off with Warren right now. There's been a lot of unhappy people on twitter too. I doubt many care about the Native American vote politically but this has been a big blow in support.
