No fan of Kamala but don't fall for Trump tropes and lies, like me of mixed heritage, she had dad from Jamaica and Tamil mum. My ancestors were all white and anglophone so I could be invisible in UK schools.

Of course Obama showed a person of colour can be POTUS but no woman has led America unlike India Pakistan Sri Lanka Turkey and many seemingly misogynistic nations. It needs be said many were family members of male leaders but not Ahern Thatcher, Borne, Cresson.

USA would go for a mother figure like 'mutti' Merkel or sterner Maggie. If the GOP sobered up they'd see Haley could win, but the faux news Trumpanzees have captured the party of greed. Who will free the low wage slaves?

IMHO we should rate performance on policy not pigment, ethics not ethnicity.




Fact check: Kamala Harris did not switch from identifying as Indian-American to Black | Reuters

gist here
ABC News described her as “both black and Indian American” in 2019 ( here ) and The New Yorker called her “the second (Black woman elected to the Senate) and also the first South Asian senator” that same year
