As I said in my post a few minutes ago <a rel="nofollow">http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2012/09/dear-elizabeth-warren-i-know-kids-who.html</a>, I knock on doors and make phone calls for Democrats. We Democrats need her to win that seat for the good of the country.

My VERY white children (yes, one of them is blonde) does not mean that they can't claim MY ethnic background. Simply because they look like my husband does NOT negate the fact that I am their mother. And, incidentally, I did not necessarily claim minority status (although both my parents are "minorities") because I did not need some of the benefits that might be offered to me....I wanted them to be available to others not as economically fortunate as I was. Your assumption about Ms. Warren's motivation is wholly inappropriate.

Warren also never listed herself as a minority as an undergrad or graduate student. But she knew in fact that a minority status could get herself into Harvard. So, she did it. Those are the facts.
