She may very well be more black than native american

Katie mentioned this story earlier — but having written about Sen. Warren’s stolen privilege in my book, I wanted to take a crack at this new information, too.  In case you missed it, Warren has released a new “fact” sheet about her supposed Native American heritage, along with an online video:

Elizabeth Warren✔@elizabethforma

US Senate candidate, MA

My family (including Fox News-watchers) sat together and talked about what they think of @realDonaldTrump’s attacks on our heritage. And yes, a famous geneticist analyzed my DNA and concluded that it contains Native American ancestry.

Conspicuously absent from this mini-film? Any actual Native Americans.  The clip does, however, show (a) various members of her family confirming that there was “Indian” folklore in their history, (b) various faculty and officials from law schools where she taught praising her skill and denying any knowledge of her claimed ethnicity playing a role in her hiring, and (c) a genealogist concluding that she has Native American blood in her heritage.  All of this content is interspersed with snippets of President Trump ridiculing Warren as “Pocahontas,” setting up an obvious dichotomy aimed at Democratic primary voters: Ingest my spin, or side with Trump.  What to make of this?  These two top takeaways strike me as correct:

Elizabeth Warren releases a DNA test that confirms she’s between 1/32 and 1/512 Native American.

1. Guess she’s running.
2. Bad move. Will make criticism on her faking background sharper.

By the way, the Boston Globe has since corrected its math: The test found that she might be somewhere between 1/64th and 1/1,024th (!) “Native American,” the definition of which included Mexican, Colombian and Peruvian DNA as a “stand in.” Yes, really.  Science says that she may actually be less Native American than the average white American:  

George Conway@gtconway3d

“The researchers found that European-Americans had genomes that were on average 98.6 percent European, .19 percent African, and .18 Native American.”

0.18 appoximately equals 1/512, or 1/(2^9)

This very much leaves open the wildly entertaining possibility that Donald Trump is, in fact, more  ”Native American” than Elizabeth Warren. But anyway, yes, she’s obviously running for president, and she knows that this issue will cause headaches among not only right-leaning voters who already oppose her, but also among progressive voters who might hold certain Identity Politics infractions against her.  Keep in mind that Warren had previously claimed to be part Cherokee, an assertion hotly refuted by real Cherokees, including a young woman writing at a far-left website:

She is not from us. She does not represent us. She is not Cherokee…In defending her supposed Native identity, Warren has drawn from both racist stereotypes and easily refutable stories about her family. At a 2012 press conference Warren stated that her family knew her grandfather was “part” Cherokee because “he had high cheekbones like all of the Indians.” Cherokee genealogists have pored through her family history to find that “None of her direct line ancestors are ever shown to be anything other than white, dating back to long before the Trail of Tears.” To add insult to injury, despite Warren’s public claims of Native American heritage, she has decidedly avoided talking with Native leaders…

Warren seems to have dropped the “Cherokee” piece of her story, apparently hoping that we’ll all forget about that chapter of this ongoing embarrassment.  Because identity is a central element of how the modern Left operates, the ‘Native American’ controversy could be a problem for Warren, and she knows it.  She feels like she has no choice but to tackle the issue head-on, even if her defenses are weak.  And they’re exceedingly, risibly weak.  Nobody is going to hold some family whispers against Warren, and it appears clear that at least some members of her family heard and internalized the same rumors. But that doesn’t explain Warren’s actions.  According to the Boston Globe, Warren listed herself as “white” and a non-minority early in her career, then made a significant shift around a significant date:

The Globe has also obtained a portion of Warren’s 1973 application to Rutgers, where she attended law school. That document specifically asks: “Are you interested in applying for admission under the Program for Minority Group Students?’’ Warren answered “no.’’ In addition, a newly unearthed University of Texas personnel document shows that Warren listed herself as “white’’ when she taught at the law school there from 1981 to 1991. The undated document, obtained by the Globe through a public records request, supports Warren’s statement that she did not present herself as a Native American when hired for the job. But it leaves open the question of why she later listed herself as a minority in a legal directory that is often consulted by hiring deans. Warren’s employment document at the University of Texas allowed her to check multiple boxes specifying “the racial category or categories with which you most closely identify.’’ The options included “American Indian or Alaskan Native,’’ but she chose only white.

So in the 1970′s and early 1980′s, Warren self-identified as white. When did that change?

HERE ARE THE TEST RESULTS WHICH TO ME LOOK TO BE CONTRIVED IN HER FAVOR——https://mk0elizabethwarh5ore.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Bustamante_Report_2018.pdf
