It's not too late to start lying. It worked for Warren. She was white when she was in Texas.
I'm sure when the Spanish Armada washed up on the shores of Ireland that my great great great great great great great grandfather must have been on board. Debo ser hispánico. ¡Viva la raza!

Quote:University of Pennsylvania also listed Elizabeth Warren as a minority
Posted by Aaron Blakeat 05:18 PM ET, 05/10/2012
Harvard University isn’t the only one of Elizabeth Warren’s employers to have described her as a minority; so did the University of Pennsylvania.
According to Penn’s 2005 “Minority Equity Report,” it too identified Warren, who taught there from 1987 to 1995, as a minority.
On page 16 of the report, the now-Massachusetts Senate candidate is listed as a winner of the school’s Lindback Award in 1994. Unlike other names listed, though, her name is italicized and bolded to indicate her status as a minority faculty member.
It’s the first indication to date of another one of Warren’s employers having listed her as a minority.
The Senate candidate in recent weeks has struggled to respond to a series of questions about why Harvard listed her as a Native American.
Warren has said her family history suggests she is 1/32nd Cherokee, and that she’s proud of that heritage. But she has also said she didn’t know how she came to be identified as a minority at Harvard.
Warren identified herself as a minority in professional directories during her tenure at Penn but stopped doing so around the time she took a job at Harvard in the mid-1990s. Still, some at Harvard identified her as a minority faculty members in the following years.
The question, then, is whether Penn identified her as a minority based on those directories or something else. Republicans argue that perhaps Warren identified herself as a minority to her employers in order to curry favor.
...In other news, the Boston Globe reports that Warren’s documents from her time at the University of Texas in the 1980s show she did not identify herself as a minority.
