In his appearance at the University of Hawaii, Colorado University professor Ward “Little Eichmanns” Churchill admitted he is not a native American: Churchill attacks essay’s critics. (Hat tip: jwpaine/foreign devil.)

Churchill did address the issue of his ethnicity, admitting that he is not Native American.

“Is he an Indian? Do we really care?” he said, quoting those he called his “white Republican” critics.

“Let’s cut to the chase; I am not,” he said.

His pedigree is “not important,” Churchill said: “The issue is the substance of what is said.”

He went on to explain that the issue of whether he is Native American has been blown up by sloppy reporting and reporters quoting other reporters.

UPDATE at 2/23/05 4:54:56 pm:

Churchill has been lying about his ancestry for years.

UPDATE at 2/24/05 9:46:31 am:

Correction time; the Honolulu Star-Bulletin completely botched that quote from Churchill: Churchill: Incorrectly Quoted.
