We hear leftists complain about culture appropriation. They're referring to everyday things like food dishes which may have originated in some other country. But it's not a problem when politicians do it to advance their careers or enhance their images.
Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American for advancement to a more prestigious job. Beto O'Rourke did it to increase his take of Hispanic votes in the recent race for U.S. Senate.
Wouldn't it be amusing to see whether O'Rourke or Warren had the higher percentage of DNA to their claimed ancestral heritage? Especially so if they showed Warren to have more South American DNA than O'Rourke. After all, the details of Warren's test revealed that the results were compared with South Americans.
Warren's DNA saga recalls the 1936 movie Show Boat in which one drop of African American blood was sufficient to make a person an African American. By that standard, she's an Indian.
Meanwhile Beto O'Rourke is being groomed for a presidential run. Maybe the two of them will have reason for a racial face off.
