She most certainly did claim it when it suited her. We do have it exactly in her handwriting on one form, and there are all sorts of other places she either directly claimed it or made no effort to disagree when others claimed it about her.
Nobody is disputing that she had a Native American ancestor, just as nobody is disputing that I have an African ancestor. The important issue is whether one claims to BE Native American / African American, which has an awful lot to do with cultural experience and the oppression that goes along with it. Warren claimed to BE Native American, and that's horsecrap.
As for what "being" Native American got Elizabeth Warren, I admit I don't know of any situations where I can point to her getting this or that because of her claimed ethnicity. I do know that Harvard Law School trotted her out as their token minority woman instructor, which probably cost at least one actual minority woman the right to teach there, so that is some concrete harm I can point to.
Just for laughs, here's a recipe that Warren submitted for "Pow Wow Chow", one of three recipes in fact.
Now that's not Warren's handwriting, but I still think that counts as Warren identifying as Cherokee. And for further laughs, it turns out that Warren's recipes all seem to be plagiarized.
I do get that a person doesn't always know where they get their recipes from, so it's possible for someone to forget that they got a recipe from this source or that. Or maybe they start with someone else's recipe and put their own spin on it. But when "your" version of a recipe is identical to a magazine article down to saying "Great accompaniment to plain meat and potatoes meal!" then perhaps what you're doing is straight-up plagiarizing. No, nobody was harmed by her plagiarizing; it's still shameful and wrong. You'd think a law professor would be allergic to plagiarism.
Before the day was out, yes. He has oppositional defiance disorder, would be my guess. Or he is just very stupid.
Plus ça change...

You're too generous. The people you described are pieces of shit. No exceptions.
Joe really is starting to give weed smokers a bad reputation.
yeah ok, it may be a factor in a missing persons sort of case, not in general though
Not to mention prime time speaking slots on the number one news site for aggrieved white men - Fox "News."
While you are not wrong, I would like evidence that he had a thought more than 20 years ago.
Man is an idiot.
Wait. He is?
How did I not know this?
What if they added Elon Musk to the mix? Would that be more unpleasant?
Oh look, it thinks it can insult.
That's what I'm here for.
