If Elizabeth Warren had robbed a liquor store she might claim to be part Black as well as an Indian

Can all these lefties who have been assaulting white women now claim to be be Comanches, because that was what Comanches did when they attacked white settlements? m/r

Washington's Redskin


by Mark Steyn  Topical Take  
The other day President Trump referred jokingly, yet again, to Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas", and as a result is even more totally racey-racey-racist than he was the week before. If you're finding this all a bit hard to follow, relax:
If a white grade-school teacher pretends to be black, that's totally racist and you should denounce him as such immediately;
But if a white professor pretends to be Harvard Law School's "first woman of color" and you point it out, then you're the racist.
Got that? It's easy when you know how:
If a Victoria's Secret model wears lingerie "inspired by indigenous African cultures", that's cultural appropriation;
But if a white Harvard professor takes up valuable space in an authentic tribal cookbook, that's not cultural appropriation ...er, because the authentic tribal recipes she submitted turned out to come from the Duke of Windsor's favorite restaurant.
When the left patrol identity politics so ruthlessly they demand that even Elizabeth Warren's claim to be Cherokee must be taken seriously, it becomes necessary for the sake of societal sanity to laugh at her, again and again. In doing so, Donald Trump is performing a valuable service to the republic.
