As for Kamala Harris, I have never felt a shred of connection with her as a person with Asian ancestry. She might have indicated her Asian ancestry in tweets or article quotes, but she certainly did not demonstrate any of it. None of her Asian experiences are her own, they are simply relays of stories from her relatives. As far as I can tell, she lived a typical African American life. There is nothing wrong with that, just stop claiming that she has a connection with me because her mom happen to be born on the same continent as me. Oh yea, Kamala harris also supports affirmative action, the very racist policy that discriminates against people with Asian ancestry. At least she can put down "Black" when she fills out her forms. Other Asians like my sons don't have that choice.

Shameful. [/quote]

Oh, Harris apparently is "not Asian enough" for you. Just like some used to argue that Obama "was not Black enough". That in itself is a pretty bigoted position to take. After her parents separated when she was 7, Harris was raised by her Indian mom. That is far from the "typical African American life".

Your almost total fixation on affirmative action is interesting and you almost make it the determining factor about whether someone is acceptable or not. Support for affirmative action is enough for you declare an Asian to be non-Asian or at least not worthy of consideration. That is a strange obsession and ignores that anyone -- Asian or otherwise -- might have perfectly valid reasons for supporting affirmative action.
