You are correct. I don't think percentage was ever the issue.
Meh. There has to be a threshold or standard. All of us are a little bit of just about everything, but that doesn’t mean we can claim minority status for hiring preference.
We can claim anything we want to claim. The onus is on the University or any other organization that would accept a claim without proof.
I disagree. It speaks volumes to the character of someone who would knowingly make those claims.

Kind of like Kavanaugh's claims.

So, if I hire you to do a job for me and then refuse to pay you after the work is done, it is your fault for trusting me and I am without fault for lying to you?

Yeah. Claiming "I didn't rape the crazy lady" is definitely a condemnation of his character.

It is. We're talking about confirmed/unconfirmed claims.

That's what contracts are for.

Unfortunately, you can't prove a negative. Assassinating someone's character when you have absolutely no proof and then turning around and saying 'Well, you failed to prove that you didn't, so you're a bad person" is beyond ridiculous. Or at least it used to be before the Left lost their minds.

Still requires you to trust me. I can just refuse to honor the contract. Then it's your fault for accepting my claims of trustworthiness without proof. No blame for me!

Sounds like Trump's defense in screwing thousands of contractors out of millions of dollars.

I don't care about blame. My lawyer would make sure I was remunerated once my claim that you had broken the contract was proven.

We don't know. It was a limited investigation of her claims.

Are seriously still trying to figure out a way to word it in such a manner that Trump doesn't look like an annoying dipshit who spewed foul venom all over Warren just because he felt like knocking her down a few pegs? I thought you were in pursuit of "honest conbersation"?

She is a disgraceful liar who used fake claims of Native American heritage to get a coveted Harvard faculty post over other more qualified people. Anything Trump said or says is secondary to that fact.

Warren continues to make herself look so stupid by standing by this mistake she made. Several Indian leaders have spoken out against her already, again.

Three days. They contacted none of the people her lawyer requested they talk to or ex-college roommates that wanted to testify. I would have been happy if they would have invested just a third of the time they spent investigating Hilldawg.

The difference is, there were credible witnesses against Dowdy the Clown, who is one of the most evil people ever to walk the earth, while there were zero against Kavanaugh. The math is pretty simple if you just think about it.

Heck, all three of my kids are, like, 1/32 Cherokee, and they can't even get any of the government freebies out there. 1/1023 is waaaay less than that, and she got a Harvard professorship.
