Progressives (Liberals)

My beef is with the whole practice of classifying people by race for general identification purposes. Why should the government have to know my racial heritage in order to issue me a driver's license?

Yawn -- I can't believe this is still being raised as an "issue".

Speaking of Buttigieg, now that he has Iowa to himself, and no, not done by Pelosi out to get Sanders, he has been sprinting across Iowa making some inroads against some previous Trump voters who are disappointed in Trump in his economic and draining swamp campaign promises.

That's a smart observation. Trump always falls to bullying and coarse insults. And when he's doing his rallies or when he's on FOX, that is what makes his base laugh.

Sorry, if you want to deal with our real problems propose some method of mitigating the environmental effects of carbon pollution and human overpopulation.

Matt Groenig does a rather lovely take on this in The Simpsons with the Springfield founding story taught in school.

I haven't learned to spell Buttigieg yet, so I'm copying your spelling. I hope you spelled it right. Learning to spell his name is going to be a pain if he gets the nomination.

Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg

Isn't Biden in Iowa too though? I wouldn't think that Buttigieg has the state entirely to himself

But has it got to the point where you have to take a DNA to fill out a college admission form?

The question on a college admission form is more about the ethnicity one identifies with.

Just remember that in Shelbyville, you can marry your cousin.

In the most exhaustive review undertaken of Elizabeth Warren’s professional history, the Globe found clear evidence, in documents and interviews, that her claim to Native American ethnicity was never considered by the Harvard Law faculty, which voted resoundingly to hire her, or by those who hired her to four prior positions at other law schools. At every step of her remarkable rise in the legal profession, the people responsible for hiring her saw her as a white woman.

The Globe examined hundreds of documents, many of them never before available, and reached out to all 52 of the law professors who are still living and were eligible to be in [on the decision]. Some are Warren’s allies. Others are not. Thirty-one agreed to talk to the Globe — including the law professor who was, at the time, in charge of recruiting minority faculty. Most said they were unaware of her claims to Native American heritage and all but one of the 31 said those claims were not discussed as part of her hire. One professor told the Globe he is unsure whether her heritage came up, but is certain that, if it did, it had no bearing on his vote on Warren’s appointment.

Then why doesn't the question say that? It does not ask what you identify with, it asks your race. Your post is nonsense.

So, what's up with Trudeau?
