Looks about right to me, although I might bump the numbers up for inflation since 2005. There's no "middle middle class", though?

Thoguh posted:One defense I've seen is 'There's no evidence that it helped her' as if that was the bar that needed to be cleared rather than 'there is concrete evidence that it made no difference or was even a negative'. Except there is evidence that it helped her. At the time, Harvard was facing a discrimination lawsuit for its lily-white hiring practices, and they were seeking out non-white professors and staff to help them with the hit their image was taking. After being hired, Warren was touted as the first tenured woman of colour at the institution. After that, references to her status as a native american within Harvard were frequent.

Mellow Seas posted:Obviously it's worse because Dukakis did nothing wrong except be short and agree to wear an overly large helmet. Has it been debunked, though, that those goofy-rear end pictures had a marked effect on the 1988 election? (I mean, it seems like the kind of thing that would be bullshit, but I've heard it enough in my life and I think polling backed it up.) This is absolute garbage right here.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:The Warren ancestry stuff keeps getting worse this was further down the tweet chain https://twitter.com/AlytaDeLeon/status/1178021303808352256?s=20 i thought warren was supposed to be working class growing up, but her parents were both the scions of businessmen (also, not native american and didn't have to hide their marriage). quote:Warren’s parents were married in 1932 in a church not far from their home town by a respected and prominent pastor, who was unlikely to have performed ceremonies for runaways seeking to elope. The witness on the marriage certificate was a family friend of Warren’s mother, not some stranger rounded up by the pastor at the last minute for an unexpected elopement.

this stuff about warren is crazy. she lied about her parents having to elope and her mom being native american, rancor between the two families, and having native heritage at all i thought that she was just incurious about her supposed "heritage" and racistly just using it as a fashion item, but I cannot see how she would possibly believe she was native american considering all this. according to legal insurrection, the members of the cherokee nation were flat out telling her she was not native american 6 years ago, so her lack of interest in actually verifying her supposed heritage is only more damning . the thing that bewilders me the most is why she both took a DNA test and later paraded around the results? was she afraid the lie was catching up to her and she was glad that there was a drop of native american heritage according to shoddy dna testing?

There probably was some beef between the two branches of the family and the story about the elopement got mixed up in family squabbles and before you know it a boring story about normal small-town events becomes a wholly fabricated tale about love triumphing over racism.
