    That's a pretty freakin massive difference between 1/64 and 1/1,024.

    You should be sorry, because you are beating a strawman. She did not ever claim anything other than she had a distant ancestor that was Native American.

    Read this article and the odds are she is as much Chinese as she is American Native.

    They sometimes require a certified copy of your graduation sent direct to the company from the University. Ask me how I know.

    1. Dviss said "So it's gone from "she's white" to "she's not native enough". to which I replied "To claim that she's Native American? No. She's not."

    So what strawman am I creating? What is she not native enough to do?

    2. What was she claiming when she checked the box marked "Native American?"

    If you fill out a form that asks you to check a box for your ethnicity, do you usually pick more than one option?

    Incorrect. There is no dispute that Warren formally notified officials at the University of Pennsylvania and then Harvard claiming Native American heritage after she was hired.

    I swear to god you guys don't actually read anything, and just go around putting words into people's mouths.

    If you happened to click the link that was in the subsequent post, you would see that there was a celebrity who found out he is 1.4% African.

    Do I have to reply to every one of your posts saying something along the lines of, "where did I say that?"

    Why should I do your heavy lifting? I never made the assertion that she got benefits from being partially Native American, you did.

    And that was a true statement on her part. Native American heritage is what she has. What did you think Native American heritage meant?

    Where? Where did I make the assertion that she got benefits? Please point me to that post.

    I asked a general question about how college's verify ethnicity for benefits. "Don't most colleges require you to prove a percentage of heritage to receive benefits?"
