Ummm.... why would that matter?

Why is it so hard to answer? Frankly, he looks Indian.

She definitely got his forehead.

So when people look at Harris now, they're going to say "wait a minute, she's not really black". That's Trump's plan?

Race and ethnicity are not the same as nationality. Being born in Jamaica doesn’t make you Black. Being born in Japan doesn’t make you Asian.

What is even the point of all this? Anyway, plenty of photos of Harris' father and her family on his side.

This x 100. People calling Trump dumb for this don’t know anything about the media or politics.

For Trump, all publicity is good publicity. Kamala’s honeymoon has been interrupted by this and he’s gotten the media to disseminate the message he wanted, that Harris is half Indian, free of charge. As an added bonus, he looks like a martyr to his supporters for taking incoming attacks from female reporters for 40 minutes.

This was all planned. He purposefully went off topic to bring up the half Black, half Indian stuff. And the media is doing just want he wanted them to do: give him, and his attack, a lot of airtime.

No - Trump's not saying, innocuously, "She's Indian". That'd be perfectly fine. No one would object to that at all. She IS Indian, and it is fine to say so.

What he is saying is different. He's saying: "All of a sudden she's Black? She didn't used to be Black, she said she was Indian." That's completely different. He's implying that she is lying about being Black, or at least, that NOW, when it is more important to claim a connection to Black Americans and the Black vote, she's mentioning that she's Black.

It doesn't work though, because she IS Black, as well as Indian.

She may be Black but she doesn't have the same family history and upbringing that she's implying she has. Her father was Jamaican who moved here as an adult, her parents separated when she was 6 and she lived in Canada from age 12-18. Her experience is totally different than many AA's who have lived here for centuries and it's disingenuous on her part to pretend so.

She's not implying anything about her family history. She's a woman of mixed race, Black and Indian. She's married to a Jewish man of probably European descent. Who is pretending anything?

She attended Howard University, a HBCU, and was a soror in AKA, a black sorority. I think she gets to decide how "black" she is.

Going to an HBCU does not infer or prove anything about your race or ethnicity.

She was also part of the Congressional Black Caucus.

So? Rachel Dolezal was president of an NAACP branch.

What happened? Did they all walk out like they did for Kamala’s speech?

They need better standards.

Yeah lost among the sheer shittiness of his non-answers was that he hardly answered anything.

??? Do you not realize how varied skin tones are among people of African descent?

And just like that, Trump hijacked the news cycle and animated his base.

Apparently, a job that an illegal immigrant fresh in the country has no problem performing.

cleaning hotel rooms and working on farms, even though Trump's hotels hire illegals and eastern European visa workers

One of the things that makes this such a weird take is that for a long time -- even in a very long thread or two here -- Harris was accused of ignoring and/or being ashamed of her Indian heritage, that she was hiding it.

You all need to get your stories straight.
