    I've thought about it before, but my white pride wouldn't allow it.

    Why would she disclose the “1/1024th” figure if she was really lying and trying to hide it?

    Lost count, how is that relevant?

    Well here's the thing... She can claim it and that's all fine and dandy. But her mistake was using it to get special privileges to be a professor of Native American studies in college. Just like Rachel Dolezal claiming to be black in order to be the leader at her local NAACP.

    Okay... if Elizabeth Warren was running around as a five year old telling people she were Native, you'd be correct.

    But I don't think you're that naive, which points to you just trying to defend her.

    It's not working out for ya.

    Only if he capitalized on it for financial gain. Trump is more German and Scottish than me though.

    You being unable to answer simple questions shows otherwise.

    I no longer care though, you win, she knew the entire time and it was all a ploy to destroy her own credibility to trumps base.
    Lets go with that.

    Well, ask a question that makes sense with a rudimentary level of thought.

    If someone has only a small percentage, it will not appear in the person's looks, that is basic biology.

    Real simple...

    If nobody else in her family had marked down Native American on forms (which if they had, I'm sure we would have seen it) then she has no argument.

    Yes, because Harvard was under scrutiny for not hiring women of color. Warren went in as a Native American and made a total of, adjusted for inflation, $475.590.46. Does it bother you that she snubbed a real Native American out of that money and opportunity?

    Since we're all about proof these days (I know, only if you're a republican), can you prove that her family told her this? I don't recall any stories about her parents, grandparents, or siblings using minority status for financial gain. My guess is that they had standards.

    She was called out for years for lying about her heritage. Trump even made a bet with her about her heritage. She didn't have a DNA test performed voluntarily, she was forced into it. She tried to hide it because regardless of what she was told as a child and growing up, you don't just go off checking boxes for your own benefit and f'ing someone that might have had that shot. She was offered a high paying job for minorities and took it, probably without hesitation.

    Several colleagues and employers (including Harvard) have said her reported ethnic status played no role in her hiring.[145][146]

    I do not believe race should be a factor in employment so I disagree with any system that uses it as a metric for such.

    Exactly. She saw the opportunity and jumped on it. She's not the only one that would do it, but it makes her dishonest.

    DNA results are no public record. Your statement is absurd.
    Why would she even take one to begin with if she was knowingly lying? It doesn’t make sense.

    Did she regularly practice Native American customs? Hell no! She used it to buy points for a job and attempt to be intersectional. How you can seriously entertain the thought she honestly believed she was an ol fashioned Indyun is laughable. She’s as white as they come.

    It’s only Slightly worse than Bernie saying he’s Jewish. He hasn’t been “Jewish” since he was Bar Mitzvad.

    You do know that she has a history of making up sorrowful tales like this. For example her wrenching story about how she was fired from teaching when she got pregnant.

    Harvard is covering their own ass. They were under scrutiny in the mid 90's for not hiring any women of color so in their search, Elizabeth told them she was Native American and they hired her.

    "In 1993, Harvard Law School offered Warren a highly coveted tenured professor job. The record is clear as to how she obtained the offer -- Harvard had been the subject of a discrimination lawsuit at the time regarding its hiring practices, and the school was openly trying to hire women and people of color at its law school.

    Warren did not begin her job until 1995 due to “family reasons,” but shortly after she started, Harvard Law School News Director Mike Chmura began touting her as the first woman of color to be given tenure at the institution. Here are just some of the references to her minority status:

    1996: Spokesperson Chmura identifies Warren as a native American professor in the Harvard Crimson.

    1997: In the Fordham Law Review, Chmura touts Warren as Harvard Law’s “first woman of color.”


    1998: Chmura, in a letter to the New York Times, stated that the law school had appointed “eight women, including a Native American.” Three days later, the Crimson reiterated that “Harvard Law School has only one tenured minority woman, Gottlieb Professor Elizabeth Warren, who is Native American.”

    1999: Harvard begins publishing its affirmative action plan on its website and lists a single Native American professor.    "
