ChicagoSigManElizabeth Warren releases her DNA test results
It is amazing how stupid politicians think Americans are.
Of course, most people will only read the headlines "DNA proves Warren is Native American"
BUt anyone who reads any further can see what a silly claim this is. The examiner is hardly a qualified geneticist or DNA expert. The test did not even compare her DNA to Native American DNA but to samples that may have been the distant point of origins of several Native American tribes.
And at the end of the day we are left with an unproven chance that Warren might be as much as a third of a percent Native American.
And she wants to run around waving this test in the air to prove she's an Indian?

jhe888Who the fuck cares? She could be descended from Sacajawea and Stitting Bull and 100% Indian, and she'd still be a GDC.

Lady, you’re white.
Actually, that should be 3.125% and 0.097% respectively. Doesn’t change the “you’re white” statement though. Heck, I have the same family folklore and am 0.2%. The number of times I’ve claimed Native American heritage? Zero.

I think you are missing the point that she sought preferential treatment based on her racial heritage:
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...er-dna-test-n2528532 Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday sought to explain her controversial decision to list herself as a Native American in a directory of law professors for nearly a decade before getting a job at Harvard Law School and said she is absolutely qualified for her job.
Republican Sen. Scott Brown's campaign last week accused Warren of "participating in Harvard's diversity sham" by allowing the school to list her as a minority.

A law school directory where Elizabeth Warren touted her Native American roots in the late 1980s and early 1990s once served as a tip sheet for administrators looking to identify and hire minority professors, according to a former chairman of the American Association of Law Schools.
