(1,533 posts)There was no advantage, and it is bullshit to claim what her motives may have been. It wouldn't have mattered if she said Martian. Normally the answers on questions like that are not even tabulated with names associated.
The "expert" on Joy went on and on about her not being Cherokee. Like that means anything. There's over 500 different tribes in the US. Ancestry DNA has ONE genetic group for all of them. She has some Native American heritage. That was proven with her DNA test. What particular group of Native Americans her ancestors came from is, to my knowledge, is unknown, as there has not been enough of a sample size to sort that out with DNA testing.
A lot of people have "family stories" of Native American ancestors and many find no trace with DNA testing, partially because there haven't been enough Native Americans taking tests. She did find that her story was more than a "story". She has some Native American ancestors. People need to get the hell over it.
I can think of only two reasons to be negative about her having Native American ancestry:
A: One doesn't like her and it's a convenient attack.
B: One is fricking racist.
