They didn't even compare her genetic markers to American Indians. They compared them to Mexicans, Colombians and Peruvians.
This stupid bitch can't get out of her own way. Did she think people weren't going to examine the results? LoL!
These dumb mother fuckers have never even thought about this topic till they needed to suck on trumps mushroom dick.
I never argued she did. But if somebody wants to argue she's Native American, then she should get the benefits of the group, right? But we all know it's just a tenuous and distant link, and she looks 100% white.
That's unknown. Anyone with a few brain cells would realize how people would view the "minority law professor" status/switching ethnicity.
If she wants to identify as one, why isn't she pursuing membership with any tribe? From my knowledge, she has never lived on a reservation nor has tribal membership.
I have no fucking idea what you are talking about.Yes, I'm a total asshole for realizing she's a white woman, which ironically has been the defense for her. It's no wonder liberals get mocked for this crap.
From the globe article above:
“In Philadelphia, having somebody with some distant connection to the Cherokee tribe just wasn’t a very big deal,” explained Colin Diver, a Boston resident who was the dean of the law school at the time.
“It counts for way more if you are visibly, recognizably a person of color. There was nothing about her that was visibly, recognizably a person of color.”
"It’s not even clear that Warren would have been accepted as a true minority hire if she’d been pitched to the faculty that way. “It wouldn’t have even worked in the most diehard communities,” said Wilkins, who was one of the only black law professors on staff. “Let’s be blunt. Elizabeth Warren is a white woman. She may have some Native American roots, but so do most people.”
"In sum, it is clear that Warren was viewed as a white woman by the hiring committees at every institution that employed her."
"At every step of her remarkable rise in the legal profession, the people responsible for hiring her saw her as a white woman."

No it was a family story
So no evidence, she never made the claim when running for office
She fucking doesn’t want to identify as one. She made the claim on a State form and/or some school form. The form is a voluntary thing businesses do in Mass, some businesses require the form if they occupy State land. It has nothing to do with hiring or what you desire to be addressed as.
I have no fucking idea what you are talking about.
If you don’t like Warren then don’t like Her. Don’t pussy foot around some anchient family heritage thing. She had a relative say a recently distant family member was Indian. This is a normal family story to have in the Northeast.
Exactly, so you agree she recieved no benefit for the Indian heritage claim.
I am a British person with an Irish passport (by right of having an Irish parent). In your opinion, for me to identify as half-Irish, was the passport a necessary item, or are there more things that I should do to "validly" identify as that?
Your opinion reminds me of a kid in school who told me that I wasn't a real supporter of a particular football team (Americans: soccer) because I didn't have that team's kit.
It's not a bet. She would have had to agree to his terms for it to be a bet. Thanks for playing. And I have more native American blood than she does. Man, the liberal brain defect functions strangely. If I tell you I'll bet you $5 I can piss in the garbage can across the street and if I don't I pay you, and if you agree, then it's a bet.
What are you even arguing against from what was quoted? Yes, I know this was about a relative claimed to of had Indian blood.
So? This possibly could have helped her on the professor track (note: NOT making the claim it ever did). Many articles I've read do not deny that it was a possibility, and she would hardly be the first person to do something that's unlikely to be fruitful.
Funny you say this because we're suppose to think it's to further the memory of her relatives who had died near the time she did it, or the absurd notion that she's naive to think people would distinguish in her words between a tenuous heritage link to Native Americans and tribal membership/strong genetic link.
It's not normal for someone with similar backgrounds to put they're a "minority law professor" or change their ethnicity despite being vastly white.
This has nothing to do with not liking Warren.
And we can agree that her tenuous link was an absurd reason to check off that as her ethnicity and list herself as a "minority law professor".
Nationality isn't analogous at all to the ethnic question. It's more apt for the question about tribal membership, but Warren doesn't have membership and likely wouldn't be able to obtain membership anywhere. Even in that case, tribal requirements can be quite low for genetic makeup, so should we treat everyone outside of the Indian nation in that group the same? Should they get the same treatment (i.e. job preferences/affirmative action) despite looking white or some other ethnic group?

"According to the analysis, this means she would be between 1/64 Native American and 1/1024, or .09 percent—which would be less than the average European American, according to one 2014 study."
She could have less than the average European American... LOL. So much ancestry!
What’s your point? I thought guys like you were pissed because she was lying?
As more and more comes out, it appears that she was lying.

As funny as that clip is, the sad fact is that the only reason why it matters at all is because people like that exist.
According to Fox News.... Gotta love it.
Feel free to dispute the article with facts.
Warren legitimately has native American ancestry. The rest is just sputtering right wing spin. It doesn't matter how much. Deal with that.
Would you consider her a Native American? Do you consider someone that might have just as much Native American DNA, on average, as European Americans that have been here for generations as Native American, an "indian"?

It does bring up an interesting topic of how much does it take to "claim" a race or ethnicity. Like her, might be a lot more people trying to claim minority status with less than 1 percent.
She never claimed to be a native American, merely that she had such ancestry. She is undeniably correct in that claim.
