Sorry, Elizabeth, no protected minority status for you!
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?
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

She-um full of used cow food.
Since Elizabeth is a Senator, I’ll paraphrase John Kerry..... ‘she was a Native American before she was not’.
Well duh!
How soon before they start addressing the issue as “her truth”?
Yes, the lap dogs MSM thought it was true and rushed to get an apology from Trump.
1 ancestor 1 generation ago = 50% or 1/2 (parent)
1 ancestor 2 generation ago = 25% or 1/4 (grandparent)
1 ancestor 3 generation ago = 12.5% or 1/8 (etc..)
1 ancestor 4 generation ago = 6.25% or 1/16
1 ancestor 5 generation ago = 3.12% or 1/32
1 ancestor 6 generation ago = 1.6% or 1/64
1 ancestor 10 generation ago = 0.1% or 1/1,024
That means that Fauxcahontas at best has 1/64 and just as possibly as little as 1/1,024 Indian DNA. The minimum required to officially claim to be a Native American anywhere is 1/32... and she FAILS under her best case.
And that's without getting into the shortcomings of the DNA test she finally found to suit her purposes and release:
"Detecting DNA for Native Americans is particularly tricky because there is an absence of Native American DNA available for comparison. This is in part because Native American leaders have asked tribal members not to participate in genetic databases..."TRUMP SHOULD DEMAND PAYMENT ON THEIR BET!"To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American."
I heard a woman in the press ask the President if now that Warren had the test results, he was going to pay her. I so wanted him to reply, “I’ll pay her 1/1000th of it.”
This is a quote from the full DNA report:
“The average segment length is 5.8 centiMorgans.”
But, earlier the report said that there is one DNA segment which is 13.4 centimorgans in length. That would mean that the remaining DNA segments in the 4 remaining chromosomes would average about 3 centimorgans, which most DNA testing places don’t even count because it is what is considered to be statistical noise. So, she is left with one segment of 13.4 centimorgans. That means that her total Indian genes are less than one half of one percent of her DNA. Even throwing in the tiny segments that mostly aren’t counted, that would still bring her up to only .049 percent of her DNA. Nothing to really make a difference, and certainly wouldn’t be enough to give someone high cheekbones, or sent her grandparents running away to get married, because of one of them’s “Indian” background. Her story is still composed mainly of lies.
Who cares about a DNA test? The true determining hereditary factor is whether she is enough “indian” to receive a cut of casino profits.
She said her parents had to elope basically because of a ‘NA relative from 250 years ago’? She’s so out to lunch.
David French - sorry, but you are an idiot if you think the media “fell” for the lies of Lieawatha.
They are in on the ruse, quite happily and without hesitation.
