Kamala Harris has been appointed Vice President of the United States. The ‘first Asian vice president’ with an Indian mother, but the focus is on a ‘black Jamaican father’. “Asia is a minority like blacks, but the audience is cool.

Harris was born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. Most Jamaicans are descendants of black slaves brought from Africa during Spanish rule, and since India is South Asia, Harris is a mixed race of blacks and Asians.

Harris himself has consistently emphasized black pedigree, on the bus as the only “black” in the white class as part of racial integration policy in the Democratic primary debate on June 27, 2019. He spoke about his experience in elementary school when he was picked up.

This statement was a landmark in the presidential election, as the issue of racial discrimination raised by a series of police murders of blacks was mounting. Shirts associated with this statement were sold at the Harris Election Office. It differs from Taiwanese Andrew Yang, who also ran for the Democratic Party, and whose identity was of Asian descent.
