And don't forget; Warren unequivocally stated that the "Native Americaness" was so obvious in her mom that her parents had to elope, because her father's family was so racist. And this would make her Mom what 1/512th Native American?

The University of Pennsylvania filled out a document explaining why it hired a white woman over minority candidates — clear evidence it didn’t view her as a Native American addition. And the Globe interviewed 31 Harvard Law School faculty members who voted on her appointment there, and all said her heritage was not a factor.

Original Boston Globe Article

Of course Native Americans are much better at running casinos than Trump.

Did she claim 1/32nd Cherokee or not? This is not a hard question.

"Elizabeth Warren is possibly 1/1024th or 0.09% Indian. The average European American is 0.18%. In other words, she is less than half as much Native American as your average European American is. She's whiter than your average white person!" - Rush Limbaugh

You should look up who ran the other casinos in Atlantic City that failed at the same time. You Dems are so trite and lazy with your petty quips.

The Warren campaign has claimed that Warren is 1/32nd Cherokee


I don’t see why such a low level would get a person minority status for college applications. That’s like 3%. Based on that I could probably claim to be African American even though I’m like 96% Western European ancestry.

His math is off. .18 percent is roughly 1/5 of 1 percent.

If warren really was 1/32 she is 3.1%. 1 divides by 32 x 100 = 3.1

The funny part is that honestly, it's absurd to run around calling yourself "part NA" if you are 1/32.

So, that means that AT BEST, the closest you could come to a full blood NA in your heritage is if they are 1 of your Great Great Great Grandparents was full NA.

That bitch be white.

Uhhh, 1/32 is essentially not Native American. You could probably DNA test 1000 Americans who have ancestry back to the 1600-1700's and half would show some Native American traces.
