Blame the Dems on that one. They have been running on identity politics for decades. If anything, the Warren thing proves how full of crap they really are. If you are a Dem you can claim you are whatever you want, take a job from whatever minority you wish, just as long as you tow the line.

Uh, no, it has nothing to do with downplaying. It has to do with Warren obviously lying about her heritage to get ahead in life. She claimed her father's family rejected her mother because she was Cherokee. Considering her mom would have been, at the absolute best case scenario for her, 1/32 Cherokee (she also claimed she was part Delaware), that story doesn't pan out. Especially if her own makeup is actually the 1/1024. There's also the fact that the geneticist was using Mexican, Peruvian, and Colombian DNA samples, not American Cherokees.
Sorry for Warren, but less than 2% of NA blood a Cherokee does not make. The Cherokee Nation agrees, as well. The average American also reportedly has that amount. I wouldn't be surprised if all Americans didn't have at least 1-2% of some minority group's DNA in them. Should all American's claim to be minorities, now, to get a boost up in jobs where they are seeking a minority? Actually think about that one, and not just defending your "side."

Lol, she didn't shut him up at all. I actually liked his take on it.
Though, I do think he should cut a check for $976.56 to the actual Cherokee Nation.
