She has never claimed or sought tribal citizenship. And i wouldn't say she's ever claimed to be a person of color. Now her opponents are under the impression she has said that and they brought this shit up in 2012. I doubt too many persons of color think that from anything she has said or done.
we may be splitting hairs as to what she did or did not claim. she may not have claimed "tribal citizenship" but she did self-identify as native american. this was absurdly dishonest and i imagine highly offensive to actual native americans

But in the 1986-1987 edition of the Association of American Law School’s directory and eight subsequent editions, Warren listed herself as a minority. She began identifying as Native American on personnel forms three years into her post at the University of Pennsylvania.

She ticked an extra box for whatever hippie reasons. Yup "highly offensive". Totally the worst. The amount of tears shed on the side of a highway for this one.
