Funny how Wikipedia has the following:

She is the first African American and the first Asian American to be chosen as the running mate of a major party's presidential candidate.[3]


But when you scroll down further it states:

Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a breast-cancer scientist who had emigrated from Tamil Nadu, India in 1960 to pursue a doctorate in endocrinology at UC Berkeley.[8] Her father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University emeritus professor of economics, who emigrated from British Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics at UC Berkeley.[9][10] Biracial of Tamil and Afro-Jamaican descent, Kamala Harris identifies simply as "American".[11][12]

No, but she doesn’t correct those who do claim her race as a virtue.

The news this morning stated that she is the off spring of a Jamaican father and an Indian (India) mother and she was the first African American female senator 😂

Maybe the “news” doesn’t know that Africa is an actual place?
I mean, they are pretty stupid after all.

When your base is as dumb as a stick, it doesn't matter!!!!

Is African American not what we are taught to call blacks? Is it possible that Jamaicans are from Africa? India is Asian not Indian. At the end of the day who really cares what she is. Shit for all I know you could be black ;)

I’ve never used the phrase “African American” to describe a person that I can recall. I always say Black/ White.

I didn’t go to the school that taught us to be hyphenated Americans...I went to the other school.

Are British Jamaicans considered African American? Asking for a friend.

There's no heterosexual/masculine way to safely like this post. Whoever does is probably a liberal.

Keep digging...


No need to dig... you just placed it on a platter........from your post...

In her 2018 autobiography, The Truths We Hold, Harris wrote that she was raised by her mother who “understood very well she was raising two black daughters. She knew that her adopted homeland would see Maya and me as black girls, and she was determined to make sure we would grow into confident black women.”


It sounds like her mother was racist....
I see how this works....Sorry Jen, but you can NOT change your heritage and DNA because your mother and the media "wishes it"...... Did she not learn anything from Pocahontas
