You keep posting this link, as if you don't realize that it doesn't counter what cpwill is asking.
First, it doesn't actually address the legitimacy of her claim of being native american at all.
Second, while snopes concludes "So while Sen. Elizabeth Warren has claimed Native American heritage, it does not appear she used her ethnic background for career advancement purposes to any significant degree", that's not exactly countering cpwill's claims.
From Snopes article....a piece you understandably decided to trim...talks about how the AALS was used as a "tip sheet" for administrators looking for minority faculty members:
In the old days before the Internet, you'd pull out the AALS directory and look up people," he said. "There are schools that, if they were looking for a minority faculty member, would go to that list and might say, 'I didn't know Elizabeth Warren was a minority.'"
She says she wasn't applying for things, she was "recruited". Said school administrators doing such recruiting has access to that directory, which she acknowledged
she identified herself as a minority. She claims she added herself to said list because she wanted to network with other people "like her". However, unless we're saying it's entirely unreasonable for someone to disbelieve what a politician claims in response to a "scandal", it's not absolutely unreasonable for someone to believe the reason she added herself to said list was because said list was used by administrators when looking for potential candidates to "recruit" and her status as a minority could assist in such a case.
Whether she did it for that reason or not is completely unknown. She claims she didn't. If you're someone to take politicians claims to be absolute truth unless there's legitimate evidence otherwise, then that should end it. If you're someone distrusting of politicians responses regarding a scandal, it's reasonable to think that such a reason is a possability.
Now it's quite possible to disagree with cpwill's premise, that if she lied she did it "seeking racial advantage". You could even easily suggest that whether or not she lied is irrelevant, because she could have lied and STILL not necessarily lied because she was "seeking racial advantage". However your snopes article doesn't really do that at all, which is why it's curious that you keep reposting it over and over again.
