Elizabeth Warren Releases DNA Results: She’s Native American

Honestly, this is my own fault for even trying to have a serious conversation in /news.

This is the third time you have changed your thesis. First it was “her grandmother wasn’t native”, which is a strong claim but false.

Then, bizarrely, it was “1/32 isn’t 1/32”, which you emphasized with a challenge to my own math knowledge. This is a very strong claim, but false axiomatically. I’m not sure what you were going for here.

Now it’s “1/32 isn’t a member of an ethnicity” which is pretty weak since she didn’t go around saying she was a native at all, except once on a form and there is no clear legal definition anyway, so she wasn’t even lying.

Now all you are saying is that she filed a piece of paperwork once in a way that is truthful and legal but you would not have, and then stopped doing this on her own before there was any scrutiny. Congratulations. Now I agree with you but who cares?
