I Denounce Elizabeth Warren’s Genetic Cultural Appropriation

Comrades, once again I return from the murky depths of time, space, (and the struggle to pay my bills as a freelance writer and consulting historian- who would have thought a degree from the Evergreen State College would have been such a liability?) to denounce Comrade Elizabeth Warren’s genetic cultural appropriation.

It is likely true that around the same time as the United States was founded, one of her ancestors was engaging in a very close cultural exchange with a Native American. Unfortunately for Elizabeth “Indian Princess” Warren, the cultural exchange did not carry forward more than a generation or two, and soon the legacy of having a Native ancestor became lost in the sort of family mythology pale white people tell each other when they want to add a little spice to their background. Much like how people whose ancestor left Scotland three hundred years ago, suddenly start wearing a kilt and throwing giant logs around, Warren embraced a culture she never grew up in, never shared, and never had any connection to. Not that being unable to even name your convenient minority ancestor ever stopped a progressive…. after all the Current Truth(TM) is what we make of it.

However, we must now join in shunning Comrade Warren for her attempt to genetically appropriate a culture she only knows through John Wayne movies and reruns of The Lone Ranger. Let us all now join in denouncing being so white and privileged as to claim a cultural heritage that she was never a part of- and to have the Left embrace that appropriation!
