Trump is doing it wrong but the legitimate criticism is that she isn’t Native American but claimed to be in order to take advantage of the desire of universities to have diverse faculty.
That is what I thought. It is amazing you know. The differences between American politics and NZ politics. Here people would not give a s*it if a politician declared they were a certain ethnicity. Like, who cares about that sort of personal detail? What has that got to do with their political ideology? Declaring that they are Indian or African or Italian etc does not tell you squat about what they stand for and that is what i am interested in as that is what will change a country and others sometimes also. Not their ethnicity. Vague and shallow detail whether lie or not.
The problem is that the left in America have a hierarchy of victim-hood and the higher you are on that list the more you deserve to be in office or some other benefit. Want to take a guess as to who comes out on the bottom of that list?
