I am cracking up over this, not angry at all.

If you don't care that she hijacked your heritage for personal gain, it would appear you aren't actually that sensitive to it. So spare us your selective, fake outrage.

I'm not sure getting a recipe into a cookbook is a great example of personal gain. She took a DNA test that even confirmed she does have some Native American blood. She just can't trace it back to the Dawes Rolls.

Musk has paid no tax previously despite billions in income. He says he's against government assistance yet takes billions in Federal subsidies. Total hypocrite.

I agree.

But getting a gig at Harvard paying 400k a year, would qualify as a good example of personal gain.

"She took a DNA test that even confirmed she does have some Native American blood"

Yes, and if I remember correctly, her Native American DNA was between 1/64th and 1/512th of her total DNA.

Did he break the law? If he didn't break the law, and you're unhappy with his taxes, then your issue is with the tax law. Right now, your side controls the entire federal government, so if you're unhappy with tax law, guess who that means you have a beef with?

As of 2020, Tesla had 71,000 employees in the US. That's 71,000 jobs created, 71,000 families whose livelihood Musk is responsible for. That, plus $11 billion in taxes this year. Are we entitled to more than $11 billion from him?

"yet takes billions in Federal subsidies. Total hypocrite"

Again, take it up with your congressional delegation if you think federal policy is so stupid. Do you pay more than the law says you must? If the federal government offers subsidies to makers of electric cars, Musk should turn that money down, and give an advantage to his competitors?

There's no evidence this had any impact on her being hired.

Amount of blood usually only matters if the tribe distributes revenue from say a casino or other business. The Cherokee tribe grants citizenship to any amount of blood as long as you have the right documentation. She still shouldn't have checked the box but this scandal is so freaking overblown it's ridiculous.

harvard bragged about her being a native american in one obscure publication. but you’re going to deny that being a minority, helps one get a job at harvard? i remember the awful
movie Soul Man, everyone who saw that movie understood that there are affirmative action type advantages of not being white.

“she shouldn’t have checked the box”

why? all you’ve done is say she’s correct, and don’t benefit at all. so why shouldn’t she have checked that bix?

They noted one Native American on a list to promote diversity, AFTER SHE WAS HIRED AND CHECKED THE BOX.

which means they were bragging about her, which means there’s an obvious incentive for a con artist to dishonestly check the box.

i still don’t know why you say she shouldnt have checked the box, since you clearly believe her claim.
