The fake news media are now pronouncing that Elizabeth Warren is an American Indian because she claimed she produced a genetic test showing she was about 1%, or perhaps as little as 0.01%, American Indian. (The actual data behind the alleged test have not been released, being about as opaque as Christine Blasey Ford's polygraph results.)
The liberal media herald this as a vindication of Warren. "Elizabeth Warren releases DNA test with 'strong evidence' of Native American ancestry," reports Fortune magazine. "Elizabeth Warren releases DNA test with 'strong evidence' of Native American ancestry," claims the Clinton News Network.
Strong evidence? A great, great, great grandmother, or possibly someone even more distant than that? It's ridiculous and also alarming, as the mainstream media parrot the Democratic talking points, even characterizing an obvious lie as the truth.
The point that everyone overlooks is, why, even if Warren is (finally) being truthful about her heritage, would someone who is 99% white and 1% (or less) American Indian want to be called American Indian? Are there American Indians who are 1% white who want to be called white? I think not.
That's because in America, being a white person is considered bad, and minorities are considered virtuous.
In America today, white people are considered suspect racists at best, guilty until proven innocent. Even if they aren't consciously racist, we are told they may harbor unconscious racism, which conveniently can never be purged, or detected, but is always there – just like man-made global warming.
Minorities, however, are virtuous because they are by definition oppressed. Any minority living in America is deemed to have been discriminated against by white people. You just have to be careful about defining what a minority is. A person from Slovakia or Ireland or Norway is not a minority.

I always knew there were highly ideological anti-white leftists out there
Now I know its actually infused into our mainstream media, entertainment culture and politics.
Its everywhere and its become less subtle and more obvious by the day
Southpark. “I am 9% victim.”
So much for “white privledge”.
Sometimes being of color doesn’t help either:

Perhaps Sen. Warren is transitioning to a Cherokee.
A TransOkee.
“...Strong evidence? A great, great, great grandmother, or possibly someone even more distant than that?...”
Here is the story of the 3Xgreat grandmother’s history...
O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford, Elizabeth Warren’s great-great-great grandmother, had no Cherokee heritage, was listed as “white” in the Census of 1860, and was most likely half Swedish and half English, Scottish, or German, or some combination thereof. (Note, the actual 1894 marriage license makes no claim of Cherokee ancestry.)
But the most stunning discovery about the life of O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford is that her husband, Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, was apparently a member of the Tennessee Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern United States and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), Tennessee–the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837.
