The tribal hypocrisy on patnet once again reveals its ugly head. For years the right bitched and moan that Warren lied about her ancestry. Now we know with absolutely certainty that she never lied. How much of her ancestry is Native American is irrelevant. She did not lie 50 years ago when she checked a box on a job application.
the median American will have 0% Native American ancestry.
They're just doing what they have to (R or D) and what anyone here would have to do if they liked an easy job where you're constantly being wined and dined.
Bottom line, she believed her parents or grand-parents and this is such a huge deal in reps minds.
Whites - 0.2% Native American ancestry.
The difference is my mom never checked a box for free tuition or affirmative action.
They asked if she has some native ancestors, she said yes.
BIG DEAL!
She changed her race from white to "native american" when it was completely untrue.
Elizabeth Warren is not a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Warren is not enrolled in the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
And Elizabeth Warren is not one of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.
Nor could she become one, even if she wanted to.
Warren is NOT an American Indian, period.
... and here is why I don't care when the left feigns moral outrage.
Now the adult thing to do would be for all the patnetters who lambasted her for "lying" to apologize and admit they were wrong.
... and here is why I don't care when the left feigns moral outrage.
Yeah because saying what is technically the truth
No, has not. Will never be.Many so-called Hispanics have more Jewish DNA than Warren has Indian DNA. Total fraud!
No. I would personally not lie about my race to get illicit compensation to put food on the table.
I like to be able to sleep at night and I've done very well being honest and upfront with people, not lying to get ahead.
True or false: E Warren's mom was oppressed as a native for only being %99.83 white?
She simply checked off a box labeled "Native American" in an ethnic background section of a form.
Exactly.
Elizabeth Warren is not a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
Elizabeth Warren is not enrolled in the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
And Elizabeth Warren is not one of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee.
Nor could she become one, even if she wanted to.
The Eastern Band of the Cherokee, for their part, have since 1963 required individuals to be at least 1/16 Cherokee to enroll -- and also to have "a direct lineal ancestor" on "the 1924 Baker Roll of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians."

No, there was no truth in this whole saga.
Warren never claimed her mother was oppressed. Nor did she claim to be oppressed herself.
Warren never claimed her mother was oppressed
Good luck getting to some of these positions of power with being 100% honest. Won't happen.
So, you agree that most Black and White Americans with fractional (~1-5%) American Indian Ancestry can check the box for American Indian and sign up for all the benefits, get to the head of the line in college and job applications?
doik saysWarren never claimed her mother was oppressed
No she only claimed her parents had to elope due to racism her "native" mother was facing.
That's all.
Reality saysSharing 1/1024th with South Americans is actually genetically less Native-American than the average White American in the US
This fact is meaningless. The average has nothing to do with the median. A few Native Americans will have 100% Native American ancestry pushing the average high while the median American will have 0% Native American ancestry. You are grasping at straws.
The bottom line is that Warren in no way lied when she checked off a box in a job application. Having any ethnic ancestry makes it perfectly legitimate to check off such a box.
He'd be fucking Warren if she was a porn star famous for sucking off circus animals.
I did not write "average American" but "average White American"! I even capitalized the word "White" for you!
Jesus Christ! In order to even classify people as "white Americans" you must first have a criteria for determining which ethnic groups a person belongs to. So you can't evaluate the average of that set until the criteria is already in place, so it can't be used as the criteria itself. That's circular logic.
Why do you even care about Warren's ancestry?
Also, both she and Harvard were praised for being so deliciously progressive
So what? If a group praised Warren and you think it was unmerited, that is a complaint about the group, not about Warren.
Why do you even care about Warren's ancestry?
Warren committed fraud when checking that box and claimed her mother was discriminated against for being Native American. Given the genetic test result, it was not possible for her mother to have been discriminated against for being Native American. The photos of her mother show no sign of being Native American; her relatives, those who are willing to speak out, had no inkling about what "Native American" talk in the family she was referring to.Reality says
Because her political career and academic career were very much dependent on the false claim. She is the one who brought up the issue this week, and her ignorance and misunderstanding of the basic math, statistics and genetics shown in her test result are truly astounding!
It was utterly unconscionable for a Whiter-than-usual-White person to exploit people's good will towards the Cherokee people, who have more than once before told her to stop the pretending.
