"Are you comparing blackface to you misinterpreting someones hand gestures, that seems like a false equivalent to me. While we are on that point maybe you can explain to me why "white face" done by a black person is perfectly exceptable (sic)."
Misinterpreting? The fact that there's need for ANY interpretation is proof enough that donny should have known better.
As to whiteface - it's not really a thing. Besides, how has white America been marginalized?
"Calling Warren pocahontas is not nearly as childish as someone falsely claiming they are a native american to get into a school. Or for that matter being able to get into a school not based solely on merit but based, at least in part, on your race."
So, name calling is NOT childish? Seriously??... how can you say that and then turn around and complain about me using the name "donny"? C'mon! LOL!!
Warren's claim is not as false as you assume - one genealogical society has dug up a decades-old newsletter which referred to Warren’s great-great-great grandmother as being Cherokee, supporting Warren’s claim (source: The Atlantic).
FYI - As for the claim that Elizabeth Warren used her Native American heritage in order to get a job at Harvard, her supervisors have publicly confirmed that it played no role in the matter and that they weren’t even aware of it at the time of her hiring.
Your misinterpretation how no baring on whether or not his actions are childish just his intent.
ok so what your saying is its ok to paint your face and mock a race as long as they are not "marginalized"
I didn't say the name calling isn't childish just that trying to cheat the system is more so
come on your going to site some unsubstantiated document from decades ago that says she might be 64th cherokee as a right for her to claim that she is cherokee. Well then since all humans originated in Africa I want to claim I'm African and get the 230 point bump in my SAT scores.
I don't care if her deception was successful, its irrelevant, I am only concerned in her attempt to deceive for the clear purpose of getting a leg up.
