Ref...According to tests, she has Native American ancestry, though she played it up as being more significant than it appears. I don't know the rules and latitude around the issue and if her ancestry is at an acceptable level. Though it sounds like it is much too thin for qualification as near as I do understand, but not so thin to say it is pretense.

Another analogy....All I can say is that when you associate something as an insult that something isn't being praised as I see it. If you associate someone with dung, dung is not being glorified in the exchange. Neither is the person so associated.
If I claimed to be British royalty, & you called me Prince Charles,
it would be about mocking my claim....not that Prince Charles
is dung-like.
This is why Trump's insult is so clever...he's insulting Warren for
her pretense....not Pocahontas for being a real indian.
Oooooh, a better analogy.....
When someone deduces something blindingly obvious, one would
criticise them by saying, "No shirt, Sherlock". Mr Holmes is widely
revered as a brilliant intellect. The insult is about making the contrast
between the dim bulb & the brainiac....not dissing the latter.
Finally, I invoke the argument from authority. Who on RF is more
experienced at being insulting than I? Case closed.
