Indian-Americans are sounding off on Vice President Kamala Harris’ alleged attempts to downplay her Indian heritage in favor of her Jamaican side of the family.
Less than a week ago, as Harris entered the presidential race, the New York Times wrote that the vice president’s Indian heritage is “little advertised.” Harris, with an Indian mother and black Jamaican father, has long been touted as a historic figure breaking glass ceilings. But some Indian-Americans told the Caller they feel Harris’ Indian identity is highlighted only when it’s “convenient” for her.
...
“She’s made very clear that she does not look highly upon entrepreneurship. She does not look highly upon meritocracy. The administration supports affirmative action, which harms Indian-American applicants to college. You can go down the list and see that regardless of the identity politics that Democrats and the media want to play, it’s clear that she does not value the things that have made the American dream possible for us, and that’s because unlike many on the left, most Indian-Americans aren’t interested in competing in the victimhood Olympics,” Chougule said.
Similarly, Ricky Gill, the former director for Russia and European energy security at the National Security Council and former senior advisor at the State Department, told the Caller that Harris’ track record has reflected that she is trying to distance herself from the Indian-American community and that it has been “submerged by design.”

Directed at a non Marxist this condemnation would leave a mark. Kamala will just cackle.
A person running for America’s highest office should have a record of helping all Americans and not just a chosen few groups… but that’s divide and conquer politics!
I’ve been wondering how long it would take for Indian-Americans to notice Harris’ snub, as she panders to blacks.
Her father is not black
Her father does have some negro blood. Check his hair.
He’s part Jamaican (i.e., black) and part Irish.

I guess identifying as a whore isn’t to her benefit?
Trump is a genius for highlighting Kamala’s Indian ancestry. We should have a conversation about that.
“She’s made very clear that she does not look highly upon entrepreneurship. She does not look highly upon meritocracy.”
That’s not her Indian half speaking...that’s for damn sure!
She’s probably a 1/4 or 1/8..quadroon or octaroon.
Yup.
Focusing on her race is a complete waste of time. Trump has so much material to work with based just on her performance and incompetence.
Reflections of a Jamaican Father
By
Donald J. Harris
“My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town.”

from father’s side, probably 3/4s or more black
from mother’s side, probably 7/8s or more black
probably 13/16s or more black
Kamala:
probably 13/32nds or more black
There was likely earlier racial mixing, so I can’t state percentages with certainty.
It’s not her race per say, it is her dishonesty about her heritage. She’s lied and presents as a phony. She is doing so for political reasons but also she may be ashamed as Trump kind of alluded to. Mostly, it illustrates her lack of trustworthiness and integrity overall. He is absolutely right to bring this up as her lack of character is the basis of all her political and idealogical positions.
Donald Harris:
from father’s side, ~3/4s black
from mother’s side, ~7/8s black
~13/16s black
Kamala:
~13/32nds black
“Focusing on her race is a complete waste of time.”
She obviously does not think it is a complete waste of time.
And if it easily exposes her hypocrisy, then it is a worth the effort.
16/32 Asian Indian
~13/32nds black
I believe her approximate racial makeup is fairly well known.
She might pick one of the two depending on her audience or her mood.
Her racial origins aren’t the problem. Her mentality is.
