According to the report, "the great majority of (Warren's) identifiable ancestry is European." However, the report adds, "The analysis also identified 5 genetic segments as Native American in origin at high confidence."
Bustamante's analysis places Warren's Native American ancestor between six and 10 generations ago, with the report estimating eight generations. "The identity of the sample donor, Elizabeth Warren, was not known to the analyst during the time the work was performed," the report says.

6 generations would make her 1/64 Native American, 10 would make her 1/1024 Native American. Either way not enough to qualify for all the stuff she took advantage of and certainly not enough to be labeled as a person with color.

Like I said in the other topic, even I have more Native blood than she does and have absolutely no right to claim status

It is, and getting DNA tests to prove one's ancestry is really not a route we should be going down.

no? what are the qualifications then?

That is very distant. Might as well say she is also black since everyone has origin in Africa.

She never claimed to be predominately native American, she claimed to have native American blood

Agreed.

That said, CNN said some pretty 'racist' stuff in the article. 'Native' and 'Indian' are now considered 'racist' terms.

EDIT:

Although the conventional wisdom among students and faculty is that the Law School faculty includes no minority women, Chmura said Professor of Law Elizabeth Warren is Native American.

WHAT? That is horrible... let actual Indigenous take the role... not someone who is not visibly one. Heritage is one thing, but to claim someone is of a certain status that is so weak is pathetic. I have about the same amount of Russian... should I say I am Russian?
---

So 1/32nd 6-10 generations back was enough for her to list herself as a person of color for 10 years and call herself the only native law professor when she was at Harvard?

Sounds like she's full of shit.

Did Warren call herself that, or did other people say that after Warren changed her listing from white (which was what was used when she was hired as a professor) to native american?

If the former, can you please post evidence?

Now how about those tax returns he said he'd release?

I can't think of a more irrelevant detail. Warren should be praised because she has the right ideas, not because of something as idiotic as a DNA test. Why do people care about something this stupid

He never said that.

This doesn't refute anything. We all believed she had some Native American DNA, we just didn't buy it was a significant amount. I have the same, if not more, amount of Native American blood as her, but I don't go around saying I'm Native American.

Well now the pussy grabber has to show his tax returns

Prove you do show us the results.

People are literally saying this is a win for her...

Literally most white and black people with ancestors from early America will have more Native American than that. A drop like that isnt even reliable. Trying to use a tenth of a percent to say you are Indian is absurd.

She still showed us the results. Now it's time for the Russian puppet to show us why he's been too scared to share his tax returns.

Basically the complete opposite happened. Trump appears to have gotten under her skin so badly, that she had to release a DNA test that shows she is even less Native American than the 1/32 that everyone made fun of her for. It was already ridiculous but now we find out she is at most 1/64, possibly down to 1/1024 Native American.

The only people who don't say that are race realist alt righters. Careful who you're aligning yourself with.
