That's not a fair "if" in Warren's case, since everyone on the tenure committee at Harvard has said that the question of her bloodline never came up. The committee included Charles Fried, arch-conservative solictor general of the US in Republican administrations. To indulge that "if" is simply to give credence to the lie invented by her political opponents. But yes, I suppose her family lore of Indian blood was lore the family was proud of.
