Poor Kamala. She wants us to know that she was raised in a working class family -- as the daughter of two academics, a research scientist (endocrinology) and developmental economics (tenured faculty in the struggling working class hellhole of Berkeley, California). If her mom didn't buy a house until Kamala was a teenager, it's because her parents moved around the country to various universities (University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana; University of Wisconsin, Madison -- practically ghettos ....) in the earlier stages of their academic careers before ending up back in California. Then they got divorced. And in fairness, Kamala's mom, as a single mother, might have been stressed to buy a single family home in Berkeley, even on a professor's salary. Her dad had joint custody and she split time between the two; he was tenured at Stanford and was undoubtedly struggling in Palo Alto.
Yes, she identifies with us for sure.
Her mother moved them to Canada when Skamala was 12. She lived there until she was 19. If mommy bought her first house during Skamala’s teenage years, it was in Canada, most likely in the affluent neighborhood she went to high school in.
Yes but this was in Montreal.
Her mother worked for McGill, Canada’s Harvard.
She pretends it was in the US here also.
She’s from Canada.
