She is actually historic. First presidential candidate to drop out of the race, then get 180 million votes as xiden’s running mate. She is very popular with the Dominion machines.

then there’s this...

27 Nov 2020: First Post: How does Kamala Harris, an African American, Tamil brahmin, raise her voice for BLM while staying mute on caste privilege?
It would be deeply unsettling to see her flaunt her genetic and cultural connection with India, without making a sincere effort to understand its various truths and perspectives — most especially because she is someone who spoke recently of America’s ‘moral reckoning with racism’.
by TM Krishna
There is no social or economic data that substantiates this myth that Tamil brahmins are on the margins. The only space where brahmins have been nudged out is electoral politics; everywhere else, they continue to dominate alongside the other privileged castes...
The Tamil brahmins had the largest expanse of possibilities in their mind’s eye simply because of their immense privilege...

And so, on the one side, you have a Harris who has experienced and knows the struggles of the African American community, and, on the other, is a Kamala who comes from ‘caste’ but seems unaware of what it really means. This leads us to wonder if she needs to learn, recognise and problematise this side of her identity. It was deeply uncomfortable for me to watch brahmins support the BLM movement when they refuse to engage with caste with the same empathy and rigour. That discomfiture also attends to the fact that Harris has remained mute on caste discrimination...

100% correct. Film footage of Vice President Curtis was included in “Jim Thorpe — All American.”

Curtis also gave a major address at the dedication of Soldier Field in Chicago.

Why hasn’t the “Cancel Culture” taken Harris to task for her reputed slave owner ancestors?
