That shows how desperate the left is to believe what their masters tell them.

It is very hard to find a sufficient number of "pure" natives in North America to attach a DNA signature just to them.  That's why they bring in natives from other regions of the Americas.  There are much more remaining natives in Latin America than here.  Over the entire Americas, the natives had very little genetic diversity.  Now, say you're right, and Elizabeth Warren's stray DNA actually came from Mexico or Colombia or Peru?  How do you explain THAT?  Wouldn't that be a minority too?  Didn't Christopher Columbus and those who came after him equally call such people "Indians"?

I'm not sure your point. 

The genetic diversity for native Americans is low compared to other groups, but there are twelve different groups across North and South America. They bring in natives from other regions to increase the odds of showing native DNA. Warren is claiming Cherokee bloodlines and that her mother was Indian. The Cherokee DNA wouldn't be the same as the DNA from central and south American Indians. 

Having said that, her native American DNA is half of what the average native American DNA is for white people. HALF! It was so low that Dr. Bustamante said, while he was confident it was correct, that there is a potential that the DNA reading is inaccurate. It doesn't matter that she has .09% native American DNA. These results imply that someone between 1700-1800 reproduced with a native American. Common sense should prevail here, and no one should be defending this weak attempt to prove her heritage. 

Do you think she's justified in calling herself native American?

EDIT: I just read that she's more closely related to the Tennessee Militia (great-great-great grandfather) which rounded up native Americans during the Trail of Tears. You can't make this stuff up.
