Excuse me, what is the problem here?

Michael Barone writes at Townhall: "Harvard and Warren say her claim to minority status had nothing to do with her being hired... The important thing is the Warren story illustrates the rottenness of our system of racial quotas and preferences."

OK, I agree that any sort of racial preference is immoral. But if Warren was not given special treatment for her race, how does that prove anything? Find a better argument.
