I also agree, but this isn't the main point.
I wouldn't have cared if she considered herself "part Native American" as long as she acknowledged that it was a really tiny part of her ancestry, and didn't exploit it for personal/career gain.
Officially changing one's race to Native American at your place of employment is a different story. That's indeed exploiting a miniscule/inconsequential portion of your ancestry to falsely claim "minority" status and gain some kind of undeserved victim/nonwhite cred.
That part is where I have the biggest issue.
If Warren had simply stuck to the claim that she was a tiny bit Native American, but took it no further than just giving it an occasional mention, I'd give her a pass. This speaks a lot about her character.
However, whenever I bring this up, her leftist fans just keep throwing Trump back in my face.
Does Trump lie? Yes.
What do I think of Trump's character? It's not good.
Is Trump probably a worse person than Warren? Yes.
Does this make Warren any better? No.
I find it hypocritical that the left, who constantly claims to be on the side of oppressed minorities, is mostly not bothered that one of their leading Presidential candidates is a Caucasian who basically faked being a minority in order to advance her academic reputation.
