"blah blah I refuse to believe Warren would lie about her ancestry for any amount of personal gain"

it's a pejorative. Calling Warren Pocahontas is not to be taken as complimentary. It's also stereotypical. So yeah, it's racist.

Its a pejorative, yes. But not racist. If she had claimed to have once shot 6 under par at golf, would it be racist to call her Tiger? Would that somehow be mocking Tiger Woods? No and no.

And if I refer to you from now on as Einstein for not not understanding this, am I being anti-Semitic? The answer to that would be 'no' as well

You calling me Einstein has nothing to do with my race. It has everything to do with my brain capacity. Therefore it's not racist. You calling Warren Pocahontas is a slur because you're making fun of her heritage and making light of the real woman who bore that name. So yes, it's racist.

Did you ever watch that Seinfeld episode where Jerry's dentist converted to Judaism so he could tell Jewish jokes?
