She claims to be partly Native American, it is not unreasonable to request that she proves it.

lets change our perspective here: is it reasonable to require someone to take a genetic test? NO

When the person in question is a major politician and claims to be a part of minority race that she looks nothing like? Yes.

Btw, I am not talking forcing her by law or court order or some such.

just the court of public opinion then?

i mean, this doens’t really matter in the slightest. I am fairly confident that Elizabeth Warren did not kowningly lie about her herritage, but if she did, we can’t know that from a test. I mean, her family history that tells her that she is part cherokee could be simply mistaken. So why should she take a test? there is no upside to that.
