So Iranians are now black?


Rachel Dolezal claims to identify as black, so I guess Jarrett can as well. Elizabeth Warren is an American Indian and Bruce Jenner is a woman.

Just sayin' lol..

Of course, you do know that her mothers side of the family is African American right? I mean, it's right there to see seen, especially since her maternal grandfather was an African American of note.


So, Roseanne? Racist AND stupid.

Nope, didn't know. I wonder how many Americans did.

This is what I discovered from her DNA tests with Henry Gates:

*49% European
——–approx. *28% Irish and Scottish
——–*16% Scandinavia
——–*3% Western Europe
——–*2% Ashkenazi Jewish
*46% Sub-Saharan African
——–*24% Nigeria
——–*8% Congo
——–*6% Ivory Coast and Ghana
——–*5% Senegal
——–*2% Southeastern Bantu
——–*1% Benin and Togo
*5% Native American

So she's more white by DNA than anything, although she does have a significant percentage of black and is apparently only Iranian by birth, so I was wrong on her nationality (but I won't edit my mistake in the title). In any case, she doesn't look black and I'll bet a lot of people didn't know she had any. My Ancestry DNA test showed 32% European and 8% American Indian. At what percentage can I identify as white even though I'm quite dark?

Great...

Now if that Injun-wannabe Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren would just do a DNA test instead of screaming “nobody is gonna take that away from me!”...it would make for good copy.

I guessed that she was just a great, big CHICKEN.

And I was right, apparently.

No Valerie Jarrett is not Iranian because she was born in Iran.

Here is my reply to another poster who wrongly thinks the same way as you: US immigration, naturalization and citizenship laws and requirements are not the laws of the world. Thus you have this big to-do in the USA over citizenship and immigration.

Iranian nationality law contains principles of both jus sanguinis and jus soli. Children acquire nationality of Iran through their fathers, but not their mothers. The full nationality law is defined in Book 2 of the Civil Code of Iran, Articles 976 through 991.

Valerie Jarrett's parents are both African Americans born in the USA with USA Citizenship who were working in Iran when Valerie was born. She is a USA national and could never be an Iranian National because neither of her parents and more importantly her father wasn't Iranian. Steve Kerr (coach of the Golden State Warriors) was born in Beirut Lebanon. He is NOT a Lebanese National. Not sure what his DNA genetic ethnic makeup is though. Probably European.
