She’s the Richard Blumenthal of intersectionality, minus the apology.
Do you want to know what media bias looks like?
Earlier today, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren released DNA test results that confirmed that she misled employers, students, and the public about her Native American heritage for years. Bizarrely, all too many members of the media treated the results as vindicating her. Down is up. Black is white. The imperatives of the resistance apparently dictate propping up a liar — as long as she might be able to beat President Trump in 2020.
Here are the facts. For an extended period of time — at a key point in her professional life — Warren identified herself as a Native American woman. She listed herself as Native American on a key legal directory reviewed by deans and hiring committees. Former employers — such as the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School — listed Warren as a minority faculty member. Harvard Law School even trumpeted her as the school’s first tenured “woman of color.”
Warren contributed to a Native American recipe book called — I kid you not — “Pow Wow Chow.” She has told people that her parents eloped because her father’s parents said he couldn’t marry her mother “because she is part Cherokee and part Delaware.”
In the progressive academy, misrepresenting your heritage is no small thing. In the early 1990s Harvard was under immense pressure to diversify its faculty. I know. I was there. I remember the sit-ins, the demonstrations, and the tension that pervaded campus. I remember Warren when she came to campus as a visiting professor.
The best comparison to Warren’s misrepresentations — especially in the identity-obsessed academic environment — is to a politician misrepresenting his military experience.

Sorry, Elizabeth, no protected minority status for you!
Would be hilarious if Trump took a DNA test and turned out to be more Indian than she is.
Finding a trace of indian blood in a white american is like finding a trace of cocaine on a $20 bill.
Funny thing is that Warren is an actual case of cutural appropriation.
Why does this matter so much to her?
.
She deserves “Protected Joke” status.
No. No they didn’t. They helped create the narrative with the blessing from the Dems.
The issue is not whether her ancestry is cherokee. The issue is that Warren gamed the system to get special rights based on unproven heritage that even if true amounts to 1/32 or less Cherokee blood.
This DNA study proves nothing. I know because I am 1/32 cherokee and have taken DNA tests. The cherokee blood is so watered down and the amount passed down from generation to generation varies ... so DNA tests are inconclusive.
All a DNA test can do in Warren’s situation is connect her with other distant cousins. So the question I would have is whether she has matched with other KNOWN cherokee descendants. If she hasn’t she has nothing.
Having said all that my guess is her family stories ARE correct and she has some modest amount of cherokee blood. Why do I say that? Because back then people were ashamed of cherokee blood and would not admit it if they could avoid it. Still — how does one claim special rights based on 1/32 or less minority blood. It’s absurd.
They didn’t fall, they conspired with her.
How Native American is Warren? (w)hite (I)ndian

Since Elizabeth is a Senator, I’ll paraphrase John Kerry..... ‘she was a Native American before she was not’.
Well duh!
Was looking for that one...
