He’s a registered member of the Casino tribe. Most people don’t realize that Casino (originally Oka Seenoh) is a Native American word meaning “house of gambling”.
Those three examples are all wildly different. And all three are easily answered, at least in their own words (Caitlyn Jenner, for example, is a woman, not “claiming to be something she isn’t”).
If you claim not to be a troll, despite the evidence, do you need psychiatric help? Or are you just being an asshole? Mysteries abound.
“Ethnicity.” “Kunta Kinte.”
And also, of course she shouldn’t.
And also, your “point” is insipid, irrelevant, and inane.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
…ka Seenoh, where the wind comes sweepin’ through your hairpiece
I agree with your overall point, but I’ve been researching my ancestry, and I found my grandfather’s Ellis Island record with a different version of his name. I’d looked for him a number of years ago (because I wasn’t sure if he had come through Ellis Island or not) and I didn’t find him doing a search by name.
More recently, I looked through their records using the name of the ship he came over in (I knew it because my sister was named after the ship), found its arrival on the day before his official immigration record date, and browsed through the passenger list. And I found him. Eight letters in his entire name, and they got two of them wrong. Heh. But he didn’t keep the misspelled version, so your point is still right.
Just to be clear, my point wasn’t that it never happened, just that it, and NA ancestry, is the most likely thing about “family lore” to be wrong.
He probably called her “Pocohontas” because it fits the cliche: that somebody falsely claiming to have Native American ancestry will usually claim to be descended from an “Indian princess.”
More likely, it’s the only NA female name he knew. Surprised he didn’t call her a squaw.
Name 5 famous Native American women. Once you get past Pocahontas and Sacagawea, most of us draw a blank. Warren has been often dubbed “Fauxcahontas” by her detractors.
Yeah, this.
Of course, if I had liven in 1880s Oklahoma, I would DEFINITELY have boinked Cherokee chicks. (After chocolates and flowers and several fancy dinners, certainly. I am a gentleman.)
And Trump can’t pronounce Sacagawea.
Took me 5 attempts to spell it correctly!
Well, at least it wasn’t Princess Summerfallwinterspring.
Huh. You’d think they’d want to use Stands With A Fist, instead, wouldn’t you?
You sound remarkably like a particular poster who was just recently banned here. Maybe you’re related.
Sockagawea?
Just joined today and already posting like a champ.
FTR, that one comes from Howie Carr, the turd in the punchbowl of Boston talk radio.
Her family tree was “did” by a blogger and it shows no NA heritage Thoughts from Polly's Granddaughter: Elizabeth Warren Information scroll down to find 5 links from start to finish on her genealogy with various documentations.
She claimed only that it was family lore, with no documentation available.
C’mon, don’t be a silly goose Bruce even won men’s Olympic gold medal, and you don’t see him in any hurry to return it or anyone demanding him to do so, which surely would have been the case, if he was a woman. The dude’s just confused or, more likely, just yanking your chain.
Concepts are hard.
