She changed her ethnicity to "Native American" after becoming a Professor so she could be labeled a "minority professor"

So yes, she literally claimed she was Native American, or at least "Native American enough" to be labeled a "minority professor".Warren changed her listed ethnicity to Native American in December 1989, nearly three years after she was hired as a white woman by the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

Having distant Native American ancestry is not an uncommon lore for families in the United States to have. Given the mix of people who have come to those lands before and after it was even a country that is understandable. That's the lore her family had and that's the myths she was told growing up. If it was true or not was pretty much irrelevant. Unfortunately she felt the need to prove the truth of this myth due to your current President being an enormous asshole. Now she has proof that the myth is most likely founded in truth. Good for her. Too bad if she thought the far-right would let her have this win. There is no reasoning with irrational wingnuts.
Google "Elizabeth Warren native" or "Elizabeth Warren dna". The very first result — literally above everything else — is this CNN article.
"Elizabeth Warren releases DNA test with 'strong evidence' of Native American ancestry." You can ctrl+F the article yourself and find absolutely no specific numbers (like 1/64th or 1/1024th) fromt he results, and the article itself is packed with people patting her on the back for "proving the president wrong." All garbage, no factual data. The only link even suggesting it has data is Warren's own website... which also contains no data.
That's just one article. There are plenty more that don't tell you specific numbers nor compare her to the rest of the whites in our country. All pats on the back, all attempts to make you remember those two words: strong evidence.
At this point I'm more of a journalist than any of these websites, at least I laid out some actual numbers. How can anyone sincerely buy this dog crap?
It links to the full report:

Gee...IDK...
Oh! How about in 2012?
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...r-what/257415/Warren has doubled down on her description of her background and dismissed suggestions she was ever an affirmative action hire as preposterous. "I'm proud of my Native American heritage," she said Monday in an appearance on CNN. "I'm proud of my family."
Listen. You need to fucking stop. You have fallen down the rabbit hole. Either climb out of it or go stay at Breitbart and leave us normal people to our normal lives.
Here's the thing: science can never deliver more than strong evidence. No DNA test in the world, if done by a scientist and not a hack, will ever say it has proven your heritage. I am the whitest white person and yet no test will ever say it has proven I am white. It will not say it has proven my mother was a white woman from Nebraska and my father was a white guy from Florida. This is how science works.
Are you fucking retarded?

"Conclusion. While the vast majority of the individual’s ancestry is European, the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor in the individual’s pedigree, likely in the range of 6-10 generations ago."
Literally taken right from Warren's website.
I mean, she never claimed what percentage of Native American she was.
So on one hand we have scientific data compiled by a legit and credible source saying she likely has Native American in her roots and on the other side we have people who know literally nothing about science and have done no tests or research saying she doesn't.
I think you are forgetting Trump appeals to the people that believe Obama wasn't a citizen of the United States merely because a man says it. Sure its on record. Sure there is the birth certificate. But all he has to do is say fake and people say its fake because why not. It fits with the false reality they have invented to cope with the fact there way of life has mere decades left.
