Via the AP:

“Harris is the first Indian American to ever serve in the U.S. Senate.”

She one upped Elizabeth Warren.

So she’s a black Asian Native American.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Not Indian as in Native American, but of descent from India.

Now she’s black.

Why then did she want to be sworn in as Indian-American and not black 3 years ago?

And one of her multi-great grandfathers was an Englishman who owned slave on the island of Jamaica. Thus she is all Caucasian. And the descendant of a SLAVE OWNER!

M,kay ... from India. But so far she doesn’t know what she is sort of like Lizzie Warren.

PS: And what’s with all this hyphenated American nonsense? Either you’re an American or not. I guess I could claim then I’m a Brooklyn-American; a hyphenated American is not an American at all.

You opened up a can of worms, and I am glad for it. LOL.

They will parade her around as a black women for the stupid. Shows you thier racism and the racism of those who believe them, “all people of color look alike” right? Obama was touted as the first black president and his mother was white

[Wuli]

I forgot. Biden sees Harris as twofer - the black vote and the Indian vote.

Good bye American jobs. This bitch is a huge advocate of H1Bs, H4EADs and OPTs. She also was a big sponsor (after MumbaiMike) for S.386, the Make America into India Senate Bill. (Bans everyone BUT Indians for 12 to 16 years from immigrating to the US)

She should join the Army

This is an interesting point, she is Indian and Jamaican, not a natural born citizen. Definitely not an African-American. I wonder if it is OK for her to be self identifier and in this manner?

Obama went to Hawaii several times to work on his tan. You can see photos on his tanline where he watch and shirt were.

Is it common for black men tan like that?

[yldstrk]

I thought she was Jamaican

[yldstrk]

And he was mostly Arab

Hey everything else is outsourced to India, why not the WH? /s
