Have you read the book Almost Black? Or are you just focusing on a couple of words without understanding the deeper context in how universities and employers have rejected Asians and American Natives because they're not the "right color", even though they're considered as being non-white? Affirmative Action served a good purpose in the past. But as I stated in my original post, Affirmative Action is being abused. It needs to be revisited and revised because it isn't as egalitarian as it was originally intended.

A lot of folks have been wanting to know how exactly I "conned" med schools. So I'm coming out with my book Almost Black to answer all your questions. https://www.amazon.com/Almost-Black-Medical-School-Pretending/dp/1483576043/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1472949165&sr=8-1&keywords=almost+black+book

>Why can't Warren be called on politics without dragging race into it?

The only offense was a white woman lying about being a woman of color. Getting called on it is not racial or an offense.

Universities enforce racist employment practices that exclude people based on race. Anything "racial" originates from institutionalized policies in academia.

Just like the Indian student that [lied about being black to get into Med School] (https://www.amazon.com/Almost-Black-Medical-School-Pretending/dp/1483576043), so did Elizabeth Warren lie about being Native American Indian.
