The answer, of course, is neither, as even Elizabeth Warren says now. But what I found interesting about the Texas Bar registration card Senator Warren filled out in 1986 is not that she claimed be a race that she isn’t, but that she got the name wrong, at least to today’s standards. Because she didn’t write “Native American.” She wrote “American Indian.” Which is I believe is now considered inappropriate and not sufficiently “woke.”1
And which is yet another reason why it is so tiring to talk about issues today. Not only do you have to get the answers right, you have to only use the most up-to-date terms when doing so.

1 I think that is the proper word, but I am not sure. Because I definitely would not be considered sufficiently “woke.”
