Hmmmm for years she's been talking about being an African American , now it's all about her Indian roots....

She made comments against India's national interest in the past, in my view she will damage INDO-US relationship

This is cringe. All of a sudden she's Indian American as well? Till now she's always been Jamaican American. I guess pandering knows no end.

She has NOTHING to do with Indian culture. Stop portraying her as Indian. Just look at her views on Kashmir. Hope NRI's will understand

CNN is really pushing her hard

I’m confused, I thought she said she was black. Race identity is having a terrible effect on our country.

Watch the dislikes on all Harris videos! Youtube pulls a magic trick and makes them disappear!

Didn’t Harris pretty much call Biden a old racist in the dem debates?
@jnl8389 3 years ago

I have never heard her say one word ever ever ever about having any Indian roots.
@lovejones1897 3 years ago

She is also Jamaican too let's not lose pride in her father's amazing heritage as well. I'm part Indian and half Jamaican and I don't downplay any part of my lineage

Who cares about skin color, background or gender?! Show me what you did and what you plan to do, so far I've seen nothing.

Funny how she only brings up her Indian heritage when it suits her politically
@billymadison8036 3 years ago

So you had to go to India and talk to family she's never met so you could have someone not bash her.... Why don't you go interview her father and see what he thinks about her?
