She didn't use it to advance her career.
Quit repeating lies.

Globe, in
a separate, lengthy article about Warren’s rise in academia, said that it interviewed “a wide range of professors and administrators who recruited or worked with Warren” who all “said her ethnic background played no role in her hiring.”
Those interviewed included
Stephen B. Burbank, a Penn Law School professor who recommended hiring Warren,
Hank Gutman, the chair of the school’s appointments committee at the time Warren was recruited, and
Robert H. Mundheim, the dean who hired Warren at Penn.
All three men said they were unaware that Warren, a nationally recognized scholar in bankruptcy and commercial law, claimed to be part American Indian.
Charles Fried, a former U.S. solicitor general under President Ronald Reagan, also vouched for Warren. Fried, a Harvard Law School professor who was on the appointments committee that recommended hiring Warren in 1995,
told the Herald that Warren’s heritage never came up during the hiring process there.
“It simply played no role in the appointments process. It was not mentioned and I didn’t mention it to the faculty,” he was quoted saying.
In a
2012 statement released through Harvard, Fried added: “Elizabeth Warren was recruited (she did not apply — one does not apply for these positions) to be a tenured professor at Harvard because she was preeminent in the fields of bankruptcy and commercial law, two fields in which we had strong teaching needs.”
