University of California, Berkeley, one of the most famous colleges in California, faces a firestorm of controversy after one of its academics admitted she was mistaken about her racial background, after appearing to benefit from it for years.

On Monday, UC Berkeley professor Elizabeth Hoover apologized for being a "white person who has incorrectly identified as Native my whole life."

Hoover, an Ivy League-educated expert on environmental health and food justice in Native American communities, further apologized for causing harm by "uncritically living an identity based on family stories without seeking out a documented connection to these communities."

Elizabeth Warren's long lost sister? Will these liberals ever stop with their cultural appropriation?
 
Who gives a shit

Cracks anyone up how the right wing media finds some obscure nobody out there doing something or saying something stupid and generalizes it as if it is significant, meaningful, or reflects anything
 
Another Pocahontas.

I truly believe that, Hoover, an Ivy League-educated expert on environmental health and food justice in Native American communities, should apologize for...being an "Ivy League-educated expert on environmental health and food justice in Native American communities."

What the Hell is food justice?

She could just pronounce shes a man and people would call her "brave" but she pronounces that's shes native American and feels she has to apologize??? That's moronic. Why do the rules only ever work in one direction?

Actually,......I think Im going to choose to identify as a Potawatami Indian from here on out. They get around 800 G's on their 18'th birthdays and 6000 Gs a month for the rest of their lives on top of the 800. Small tribe with a big casino. They could use an extra member so.......:thinking:

It's irrelevant. It's a fact that people can claim to be whatever gender they like based solely on what they think, then why cant a person claim to be a native American based on how they think? I have to admit you leftists are very creative at avoiding the point.

Off topic pinhead. If someone can claim a gender by merely proclaiming it why can't someone claim to the an Indian by merely proclaiming it? Pocahontas Warren did it.

Not off topic, the thread is stupid, as I said, some obscure nobody saying something inane isn’t particularly noteworthy unless you are pimping it to drive home a theme, one could ping pong it endlessly

It's a simple question can she claim she is an Indian and should she get any benefits that indians get simply because she claims to be an Indian? Yes or no?
