The question Warren was responding to was "The following information is for statistical purposes only and will not be disclosed to any person or organization without the express written consent of the attorney:"
That is, this information is an attempt by the Bar to know who its members are, and to get an ethnic profile of the membership: How many women? How many minority members? And so forth. A good strong Bar Association wants to know who its members are and tailor programs to serve identifiable segments. Warren didn't get any "benefit" from identifying as American Indian; she was already a member of the bar. She was simply reporting information to the Bar that they could use to offer services that might be of use to the general membership.
If you're taken in by this nonsense, please go back and review the breathless controversies over Obama having orange juice with breakfast or wearing a tan suit. Then ask yourself why you continue to be so gullible as to buy into another nontroversy. Who's yanking your chain, and why are you so easily distracted by non-issues?
