Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the pastiest white woman in the entire Senate, has long been a figure of fun for her claim to be the "first woman of color" to teach at Harvard Law School, owing to her "family lore" of holding Native American ancestry. It doesn't exactly seem to check out based on looking at her, or asking around in the Oklahoma Native American community she claims to be part of. President Trump has had a field day with her pretensions, calling her "Pocahontas."
Now she's come out after a long, long hiatus from those charges to claim that yes, she's found a geneticist who claims she has a Native American ancestor, some six to ten generations back. According to the Washington Post:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is gearing up for a potential 2020 presidential bid, has released a DNA test that suggests she has a distant Native American ancestor, part of an extraordinary effort to discredit President Trump and others who have questioned her claims about her heritage.
Warren's "gotcha" is hardly the "slam dunk" she claims. The genetic finding she cites makes her at most 1/32 Native American, and it could easily be as little as 1/512 Native American. Since Warren's original claim to Native American ancestry was that her great, great grandmother Sara was "part" Native American, that raises the likelihood that she's in the 1/512 range.
This is almost exactly the same as the average white American's composition of Native American ancestry. One out of 512 is 0.19 percent. The average white American's is 0.18 percent, according to Sam Morningstar, who has an authoritative-looking piece on Quora about how Native American ancestry works in the U.S. and the fact that it's frankly, among whites, quite rare. The 0.18 percent average, he notes, is easily misleading,

Joe Biden is still 100% dirty old man.
Trump should get someone to do his ... he will probably be 0.25% to her 0.19% lol ...
That would make her 1/10 of a percent or a 1/10 of a penny ... or take a penny, cut it into 10 pieces; one of those tiny pieces of a penny is her claim to being native American.
My wife is 25% Native Canadian, but the 50% Dutch so overwhelms it that she would never dream of claiming Indian blood.
So if I get the DNA test and my White WASP ass is more minority than her, do i get to claim minority status and get special consideration too?
Warren is a thief.
Believe your math may be a little off — 1/10 of one percent would require that penny to be cut up into 1000 slices and just one of those slices would represent her claim.
You're also eligible for a full schloarship to Harvard!
There’s more flavor in a Lacroix than Faucahontas has Indian blood.
So if I get the DNA test and my White WASP ass is more minority than her, do i get to claim minority status and get special consideration too?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No need. Nowadays you can just identify as a minority.
I am .2 percent Sub Saharan African. Can I get some affirmative action?
No matter what she is, it’s disgusting that she ever wanted to use a racial advantage to get ahead of others in the first place. That should be the real issue here.
All of this race counting must stop. NO one should get special privileges on account of ancestry. NO one should be $hit upon because of it.
PS, scientists say humanity started in Africa. So we are all Africans, and entitled to free college and jobs.
Meant dollar in relation to a penny.
Everyone knows that there 100 pennies in a dollar and the fraction of that, a penny, is 1/10 smaller.
I have far, far more American Indian blood (Choctaw and Cherokee) than Warren, yet it would never occur to me to declare that I’m eligible for any preference based on that ethnicity.
She lied about her ancestry, received two jobs otherwise reserved for real Native Americans, and this is her pathetic attempt to cover herself.
