Warren DNA test

So ignoring all of the cultural identity issues, here's an interesting thing on the science of DNA testing: Washington Post Fact Checker: Just about everything you’ve read on the Warren DNA test is wrong

We are not trying to defend Warren’s decision to release the test, just to set the record straight about what the test shows. The media bungled the interpretation of the results — and then Warren’s opponents used the uninformed reporting to undermine the test results even further. We fell into this trap as well, and were too quick to send out a tweet (now deleted) that made an inaccurate comparison. We should have not relied on media reporting before tweeting.
