The shocking Q&A session was a preview of what a face-to-face encounter with Kamala Harris would look like.

    Last time I checked, Americans can be black. Indian-American doesn’t inherently mean Indian/White.

            Her Indian heritage wasn’t hidden. Until Republicans, she was just American with a heritage, like the rest of us. It was just that no one cared. Raphael Cruz changed his name to fit in. There is a pattern.

            It wasn’t, nor is it now, being hidden. Some reporters are more interested in her black heritage and others in her Indian heritage, and the overall context of the piece also factors into that. But by and large, “left” leaning outlets haven’t paid a whole ton of attention to her race as it doesn’t fucking matter. However, Republicans sure as shit have been very vocal about hee “blackness” and are now all “omg, but she’s Indian heritage, too, and we haven’t even dug into that. HoW COuLD thE LeFT Do ThIS tO Us?!?!”

            Honestly, conservatives have become so transparently ratfuck racist with their attacks on Harris, it’s beyond wild. So tired of hearing pudgy white old dudes screech about “DEI” and not realize how INSANELY racist that is.
