Current Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation 1/64 Native.

Warren was up front in that she believed she had 5th generation ancestor. The DNA report didn't disprove that. It only proved that she had at least one distant relative. Not only or just, as the right keeps claiming. DNA reports don't prove that sort of things.

Oh and regarding ethnicity there's currently 5 major groups. White, black, yellow, red and jew. I assume it's because of the work of Israeli scientists and their policy of Nationality by blood. Not really sure any other country does that. Anyway in DNA research Jews aren't Caucasian. If it helps, in that sense Warren is indeed whiter than you're.
What Druff seems to repeatedly ignore about Elizabeth Warren’s story is the part where her grandfather, who was fully white (from the “good” social stock in the community), was disowned by his bigoted parents because he married a woman who had some Native American blood in her family tree. Apparently, her grandmother had one grandparent who was Native American. That people would be so petty and bigoted about the racial makeup of someone is the important story that Warren conveys in the story of her ancestry. Too bad Druff keeps ignoring that point. Hell! Anti-race mixing laws in the US were only found to be unconstitutional about 50 years ago!

It might be a true story. Fairly sure Druff has decided it isn't. Not really based on anything besides that Warren doesn't look Native enough. Just telling the story is apparently exaggerating ones ethnic background.

Looks are inherited in a very nonlinear way.

In the DNA report something like sixth of her DNA was unrecognized (or less than 99.9% certainty). Studying Native DNA markers isn't exactly at the top of the list of research funding. And all of this is about that 0.5% of human DNA that differs among all of humanity. Rest of it is shared. Everything that is involved with DNA is minuscule and usually based on probabilities.
