The test says 1/1024, that will never be American Indian.It's not ONE DROP, and it proves Warren's assertions. Not that she is a tribal member, but that she had an ancestor that was Native American. Why is it so friggin hard for people to accept that? Is it the end of the world that a Democrat told the truth one time? LOLhttps://www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/S0002-9297(14)00476-5#secsectitle0135
Most people whose families have been in North America any length of time contain traces of a variety of races and ethnicities. Your average American who claims European descent actually is about .18% Native American, although that obviously fluctuates according to where the family is from. Melting pot, remember?
Indeed. That's why this identity politics b'loney is such...b'loney.
How in the hell did this country loop around back to the "just one drop" attitudes of Jim Crow? I feel like I just woke up in some Bizarro World 1950.
It seems odd that she would bring it up considering that her portion of Native American is shared by roughly 50 million other Americans. There is a distinct impression that she hoped to gain some prominence and some advantage by mentioning it. Truth be told it's all fairly harmless until you consider it in the light of her plagiarized cook book named Pow Wow Chow, and in the light of several dozen speeches given by her where she speaks of herself as being Native American when in fact she is not.
It doesn't make her a bad person but it makes her one that's very stupid if she thinks that assertion will go unchallenged by the genuine American Indian Nation should she decide to make a run for president.
Nobody really cares one way or another except perhaps her apparently.
So it best she is 1 / 512 and probably even less than that.
It would be like any one of us getting up in front of a crowd and bragging about the fact that we belong to homo sapiens and expecting people to be impressed with that Claim.
The more concentrated Native American population are a very reactionary group it is highly unlikely that they will allow this to drop peacefully. She just picked the totally wrong issue to get sentimental about.

Most Caucasians in this country have a better ratio than that, Why don’t they claim to be Indians you silly little fucker
Most Caucasians have more Neanderthal DNA than that.
