Warren listed race as 'American Indian' on Texas bar registration

117. Yes. I'm remembering Judy right now, unlike Warren still Republican,

who's very proud of her indigenous heritage from generations back. She's as white physically and culturally as Warren, but that link has always been something she likes about herself. I'm sure it never crossed her mind -- until these days -- that telling people she was "part" Osage would be offensive or damaging to that tribe. And may refuse to accept it now. I won't be asking.

Times change. Martin Luther King spoke of black, red, yellow, white and brown people. Red and yellow for sure are now considered intensely racist and hurtful, brown also probably.

Peculiarly, black and white are considered perfectly fine, in spite of how often they're indispensable to pretend-respectable racist insults. But just wait. It seems quite likely eventually our children will be hiding the nasty truth that we routinely used those ugly racist terms from their children.

Well, poor Warren. Whatever her intent then, listing this as her only heritage may have seemed harmless and even innocent then, long before such casual indulgences were weaponized, but not now. Poor us.
