Elizabeth Warrens Native American Heritage is the title of a new campaign video promoting the senior senator from Massachusetts. Ms. Warren, a former Harvard law professor, is claiming vindication after presenting the results of a genetic test which appears to show she likely has more of a claim to Native American heritagebut perhaps less of a claimthan the average white person in the United States.
..snip..
The Boston Globes Ms. Linskey has previously reported on Ms. Warrens various racial claims:
In 1984, she contributed five recipes to a Native American cookbook entitled Pow Wow Chow: A Collection of Recipes From Families of the Five Civilized Tribes: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. In the book, which was edited by her cousin and unearthed during her 2012 campaign by the Boston Herald, her name is listed as Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee.
Warren also listed herself as a minority in a legal directory published by the Association of American Law Schools from 1986 to 1995. Shes never provided a clear answer on why she stopped self-identifying.
She was also listed as a Native American in federal forms filed by the law schools at Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania where she worked.
And in 1996, as Harvard Law School was being criticized for lacking diversity, a spokesman for the law school told the Harvard Crimson that Warren was Native American.
..snip..
Before facing President Trump in a 2020 debate, Sen. Warren will first need to win over the Democrats who vote in presidential primaries. If these voters accept her as a Native American then logically it suggests that most if not all Americans can also claim to be members of groups that have historically suffered discrimination.
Were all minorities now?

5.0 out of 5 starsDiversity Dish
May 17, 2012
Format: Paperback
I thoroughly enjoy the recipes here. My favorite one is called “Diversity Dish.” This was contributed by the world’s only confirmed blond-haired, blue-eyed Cherokee who used her tomahawk to dig this up from her Oklahoma archives. You start out with 10 quarts of sanctimony, add in a gallon of hypocrisy, throw in a few fables (I recommend the “Family Lore” brand available in Cambridge), add a pinch of whining (1/32 ounce will work), toss in a paleface poseur and a large measure of insufferability. No integrity required. And there you have it: political career implosion. Great for faculty lounge gatherings and unearned academic advancement.

This was posted on another thread last night, pretty much nails Liawatha’s scam.

My father who we now know was 16% Native American/First People tried to prove it and could not find documentation. In his day, this was not something that you advertised. And they did not have a DNA database. Now with DNA showing that I am 8% we know. Sorry Elizabeth. But my wife thought she was Native too, but the DNA said no.
That is the way of technology, but I agree maybe now we can drop this stupid tribal ideology. (Be American and love it.)
And keep your heritage too, but don’t use it for advancement purposes. Take the test, pass it and gain entry to college like everyone else.
I used a Tom Tom GPS device once. Can I claim my native American heritage status now? Where my freebies?
Hatch said he was 1/1032 T-Rex? He needs to check is undies, because I think his pair just dropped.
Too bad it came so late, but whatever.
My mother told us we were 1/32nd, since my grandfather grew up on the White Cloud reservation near Missouri somewhere. She did the DNA test.
Turns out her father wasn’t her biological father. Oops.
I’m severely Irish, as a result. My dad nearly full, and my mom was nearly full Irish.
The Irish were always the last one listed on the signs:
No Dogs
No Ni****s
No Irish
I’ve got that sign, unredacted, in my office at home.
Didnt both the rabid southern segregationists ( all Democrats) and the Nazis use the standard that a single drop of distant ancestral blood from a non white or non aryan race makes you a member of that other race? I guess it is no more ludicrous that being born a biological male and with the appropriate male parts, but thinking you are female makes you a female.
Archive them if you enjoy them. Amazon will likely be purging them soon if not already.
Wow, Yes, DNA can provide surprises. There is a rumor in my family that my grandmother had an affair and the man listed on my mother’s birth certificate is not valid. As you put it so well, oops. But at this point I cannot tell. The DNA evidence is not enough to make a clear call. In this instance it is not Indian blood that is in doubt, that was on my father’s side; but this would affect the level of Jewish blood. (which come to think on it is low, but I also don’t know the level in my grandfather — if he is my grandfather).
