1/1024 = 0.09%.

NYT 2014 article: "The researchers found that European-Americans had genomes that were on average 98.6 percent European, .19 percent African, and .18 Native American."
Well it said 6 to 10 generations so the median would be 8 generations, or 1/(2^8), which would be the 1/256 or 0.39%, which is still meaningless given HER STORY. It would be cool for someone researching their own ancestry, but she presented it as an issue her own mother dealt with, which is just ridiculous.

Right. Getting nit picky with the numbers is kind of irrelevant when you consider she a.) used her "heritage" to get jobs and b.) was claiming her Indian heritage was so strong that her mother was looked down upon by her father's family
