Rejoice! Pocahontas is actually 0.1-1.56% Native American!

[gimmick]

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

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.

you said she never claimed to be a woman of color. do you not consider native americans to be “of color?” cause she 100% claimed that in writing.

in lieu of giving a standard gimmick dodging response that doesn’t address this question, maybe just admit you were wrong and let’s move on with our days

Yea this is her take on it, "I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group, something that might happen with people who are like I am," said Warren. "Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off."

She ticked one additional box in voluntary self-report forms. The one i've seen has no qualifications or anything besides a row of boxes.

The article you linked has the usual list of stuff that's just blatantly false (like "Warren has some Native American ancestry — a bit less than the average white American"), moving the goal post and being offended for someone else. In other words it's shit. Wordy shit, but shit none the less.
