Her Stanford expert is operating under the theory that the indigenous peoples of South America have the same ancestors as the indigenous peoples of North America. It's a convenient theory which allows him to pretend he's testing for "native american" DNA even though he has none for comparison.

In fairness here, I'm much more likely to trust a DNA test by an "expert" than ancestry.com. I've spoken to several people who had their DNA tested by a commercial company and got back ridiculous results.

The story is not whether or not the DNA test was valid. There are three bigger points:

1) Subverting the purpose of affirmative action to benefit her own self interest. I view that as no big deal, except that she has been a champion of affirmative discrimination.

2) The fact that her Amerind DNA percentage is in line with the average white person in the US, which is 0.18%. she's no less white than the average Joe Sixpack.

3) The fact that the mainstream media was touting her result as proof that her lie wasn't a lie, when the DNA test proved just the opposite. The Boston Globe even had the proof claim as a front page headline. I'm sure Politifact still defends Warren's claim.

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
