I think the following is what I have read, although it also seems that her percent black is even LESS than 1/8th.

If this is incorrect, I am happy to learn the correct situation.


Kamala Harris is seven-eighths (7/8) Asian Indian and White,
and only one-eighth (1/8) Jamaican Black.

Her Mother: 100% Asian Indian.

Her Father: 75% Caucasian, 25% Black. Family includes Irish Slaveholders in Jamaica. Her grandfather was half white and half black, so he was 50% black. He had Kamala’s father with a white woman, so Kamala’s father was born 75% white and 25% black.

So when Kamala’s father (25% black/75% white) and her mother (100% Asian Indian) had Kamala, half of each is in her make up.

Therefore, Kamala Harris is:

• 50.0% Asian Indian (four-eighths or one-half Asian Indian (4/8 or 1/2));
• 37.5% Caucasian (three-eighths Caucasian); (3/8)
(that adds up to 7/8)
• only 12.5% Black (one-eighth Black) (1/8).

The one-drop rule was a legal principle of racial classification that was prominent in the 20th-century United States. It asserted that any person with even one ancestor of black ancestry ("one drop" of "black blood") is considered black.

With that racial makeup which you pointed out, The American Heritage Dictionary classifies her as an octoroon.
