In reply to the discussion: In defense of Elizabeth Warren....personal experience [View all]ProfessorPlum
(11,458 posts)this issue was first brought up by the Boston Globe when Warren was running against Scott Brown. They found that she had once checked a demographic survey box asking her what her ancestry was, and one of the boxes she checked was native american. That is what she'd been told. Brown, of course, classily started calling her Pocohontas.
There also seems to have been some issue with what Harvard did with that information - I think they may have published a book or schedule of professors with different backgrounds and listed her that way. I have read this, but haven't confirmed it.
All in all, I find she has done _nothing_ wrong, and handled this issue quite well. All the bullshit about the test having gone wrong baffles me. She proved that she had been telling the truth her whole life.
I frankly love her, and her concern for people over banks. She knows just how we are being screwed and is angry about it. I'll be supporting her in the primary.
