Elizabeth Warren releases DNA results to prove she is partially Native American

It seems someone could literally have douche in their ancestry, no?

It is 100% possible since I'm here.

Funny how genetics can prove what we are.
African
Asian
Native
Caucasian
Male
....

Oh wait, not that one.

Good one

DNA testing is changing how Native Americans think about tribal membership. Yet anthropologist Kim Tallbear warns that genetic tests are a blunt tool. She tells Linda Geddes why tribal identity is not just a matter of blood ties

Is this dangerous for tribal identity? All a parentage test does is say whether your parent is your biological parent or not. I feel that’s dangerous in the long run because there is a conflation going on in people’s minds of parentage testing with genetic-ancestry testing. People think that there’s a DNA test that can prove if somebody is Native American or not. There isn’t.

I have a very small amount of Comanche in my ancestor, and I've never thought about exploiting that until you brought up the idea of opening a casino.

It's like my dreams are finally coming to fruition.

All white people that want to be Indian say this. Why do white people want to be Indian in the first place. White people with Indian blood are usually called Mexicans. But none of y'all want to claim that.

After you open it give me a ring, you can come by me for a sleepover, I have a special blankie you can use after you name me your executor.

She really wouldn't let go of this one.

"Trump the Birther" won't let this go!

Trump Says He’d Offer Elizabeth Warren $1 Million to Take a DNA Test www.bostonmagazine.com...

Donald Trump Said He’d Donate $1 Million if Elizabeth Warren Took DNA Test to Prove Native American Ancestry. She Just Did www.newsweek.com...


Now, let's see if "Trump the Birther"will pay up!

I must advise to stinker that this “blankie”, that you speak of would not be beneficial to ones health. I give out these blankies to the homeless.

In Warrens case she wants money and votes.

Exploitation of a minority to gain power.

SOP of her party.

Iam from scandinavia, and as white as milk, but i got proof that iam really from africa

From this data, we’ve known for three decades that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa some 200,000 years ago.

We are all African

The native americans are also from africa, so using my superp logic, i can conclude that iam in fact, a native american. Now i just need to pack my tent, and move to a reservate so i can cash in on the casino money, which i really need, cause i like to gamble.

You can all call me chief longpants from now on

HA! That would work, but we were always warned about using other peoples blankets, something about largepox.

So whenever I go anywhere for a sleep over, I just wear my super sweet onesie. Aside from it looking kickass, I stay warm and cozy.

I did a 23 and me deal because they had a 50% off sale a while back. According to 32 and Google me, I was really European and a little tiny bit black, I think 3 percent or so. But ZERO native American. I found this odd because my great grandmother on my fathers side was definitely 1/2 Cherokee. She lived until 1996 and had docs to prove it as well as pictures of her mother from around 1920 or so that show she looked about as 100 percent American Indian as someone possibly could.

(and for those of you that don't know the sad reality of this, my great grandmother was actually ashamed of it. It was not anything she would brag about.)

Because of this, I wonder how good these genetic tests actually are.

BTW, I have never used my documented Indian blood to get any benefits anywhere at anytime nor do I intend to. Unless the Cherokee of Missouri are allowed to open a casino..then I might change my mind. :-)

Sorry, I can't follow.

Per HuffPo rules, whiteness gauging is either with Great Britain, or people of Utah. Could you possibly translate it into those terms so our readers can understand?

First problem.

Second problem.

Foreign citizens can't run for president.

Mrs Native American Warren just precluded herself from being eligible.

'Largepox'? It would have given you Tupacs. That's when the Illuminati adversely impact your constitution.

Unless that DNA test was administered as a urine test.

Nothing was proven.

JOKE.

Don't be confused.
