[quote]Trump’s comments at a gathering of Black journalists in Chicago came when an interviewer asked him whether he agreed with Republicans on Capitol Hill who have characterized Harris as a “DEI hire.” Trump responded by questioning Harris’ heritage.

“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” the former president said.

“I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went – she became a Black person,” he said at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. “I think somebody should look into that too.”

Trump’s comments are reminiscent of his similar attacks on Black political rivals in the past, including the years he spent pushing the false, racist “birther” conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.[/quote]

Why does Donald feel so threatened by multicultural Americans?

He doesn't get that you can identify as however you wish. [/quote]

Not if you are white or a model minority…[/quote]

Exactly. Harris is "multi-racial" you cannot or rather should not identify however you wish just for personal gain. Otherwise, what's wrong with having my SWM DS claiming to be "latino" because possibly his middle and last name could be construed as such? It has been tempting though so he could claim minority status because of the DEI movement.  Which of course would be wrong.

I know someone who did this and got a college scholarship. So, sure while you "can" you should not.[/quote]

One can identify however they wish. When someone is multi-racial, they can choose to embrace all, some or none of their multi-racial-ness.

It isn't up to you, or anyone outside of that individual, to decide.[/quote]

Well - it's wrong of someone multi-racial to say they are "only" one or the other because that's not accurate either. But fine - agree to disagree. [/quote]
