This is what concerns you

You have to admit it's strange and a huge lie.

Exactly, it was a dumb thing to do on her part, but in the grand scheme of things, wgaf?   Trump lies all the time, and his base gulps it up.

And she calls him out for lying...all the time.  It's not okay for anyone to lie and take the place of someone who is from a traditionally disadvantaged group.

It's just not and we shouldn't justify it. It's disappointing to read the ends justify the means arguments.  :hmm:

There is no excuse for a blonde blue-eyed individual to write down "American Indian" on anything to identify themselves. 

None.   Why can't we be honest in this society?

Funny how the actual Native American women in Con
in Congress look like this:

What a bunch of phonies!  I mean they're not 1/1024 Native like Warren.

No shit, and REC. 

I, too, was gullible enough to believe the family fiction of my grandfather, which for all I know HE also believed.  But Ancestry gave me a dose of reality.  My surname, of which I'm historically quite proud, comes to me through a great-great grandMOTHER whose story is quite unsavory by church standards. 

Kind of liberating, actually, as it gives me a genetic basis for some of my own unsavory personal history.

Easy enough for Warren to have looked in the mirror to know she wasn't Native American. One ancestor, in the past, doesn't define an entire ethnicity and we all know that.

On average Black Americans have about 25% Eudlpean dna. Do they identify as white?

When I said my great-great-grandmother was "unsavory," I wasn't speaking of her ethnicity but rather of her life circumstances.  This thread is not just about ethnicity, and the point I responded to raised the question of people being misinformed about their ethnicity by family lore at a time when DNA testing wasn't on the table.

As to your point about Warren and her mirror, I have known several people in my generation with native or Filipino/Pacific Island bloodlines in the 25% to 50% range who could have easily passed as white, based on appearance.

I don't think it's that common, though also not rare to look white with that much "ethnic" dna.

But, this dumbass turns out to have 1/1024 Native, almost none or negligible.  I have no idea where she could have bought a clue, but she and her family were wrong about being American Indian.

I try to be empathetic to Natives, genocide, land stolen, thrown onto reservations as a lasting legacy and now their very own identities being stolen as well.

That's fucked up. And it matters, American Indian lives and cultures matter. At least a little respect is long overdue.

Totally looks like Elizabeth Warren.  They could be twins!

Sorry, but she looks Native to me.

This woman is half Caucasian American and half Oaxacan Indian.
