My wife is half Italian on her mother's side. Her Dad is from North Carolina for as far back as anyone can remember. She did a DNA test to see what her Dad's half shows. She's as Native American as E. Warren!

The best way around this crap is for everyone to claim minority ancestry. Your next child, put them down as Indian. The one after that black. Once everyone is a minority, then this will stop.
Good one.
This is outright fraud.
I’m 15% Native American based on three DNA tests. I mark my authenticity as white.
Just ridiculous!
t’s all in how you spin it.
Many, many,many generations ago, one of Elizabeth Warren’s Native-American ancestors decided it was more advantageous to be white.
Since then, not a single person in Sen. Warren’s lineage has sought out a return to their native heritage, choosing instead to marry only “white” people.
Native-Americans are saddened that Sen. Warren’s family tree has been so embarrassed by their Native-American heritage that they have only considered non-Native-Americans as their choice of spouse for so many generations.
lol
That would be funny.
It’s starting to approaching the point of “piling on.” But then, Warren deserves all the derision heaped upon her.
She soooooo fits her party.
And Harvard.
Oh how the (so-called mighty) have fallen.

Agree! My great grandmother was a member of the Cherokee nation that were driven out of TX into OK in the mid-19th century. Of course that happened before her birth and her family subsequently moved back into central TX in and around the Rockdale area. She married white man named Cook, who I really know nothing about, other than he was my mom’s grandfather. My grandparents nor my mom ever really talked about him so he may have been a ne’redowell. Anyway. I would never have considered claiming my heritage for benefits. (Although now that I’m retired, maybe I should... Just kidding.)
Fauxahontas should be required to pay back all the education money she got for her faux heritage lie.
Per the same Genetic Literacy Project:
“Broadly, the genomic analysis found that on an average the African American genome was 73.2 percent African, 24 percent European and 0.8 percent Native American. Latinos as expected had significantly more Native American ancestry with the average Latino genome being 18 percent Native American, 65.1 percent European and 6.2 percent African.”
IOW the average Hispanic has 18% Native American and the average African American has ~1% Native American. In contrast, Warren at best has 1/64 and at worst 1/1024 Native American blood.
She barely has enough to drive a Jeep Cherokee!
My paternal great grandmother was full-blood Wiyot of the Bear River Band in the Humboldt/Klamath region of California. Not many of us left. It burns to see someone like Elizabeth Warren try to lay claim to something she is obviously not entitled to.
But will she float if thrown into the river?
