On his Truth Social account, former US President Donald Trump shared a picture of Vice President Kamala Harris and her family. This follows Trump’s recent claims. He claimed Harris had “turned Black.” A few years ago, Trump was unaware of her dual racial identification. “The same old show of divisiveness and disrespect” was how Harris had described it.

During an event in Chicago for Black journalists, Trump asked Harris if she was Indian or Black.

Strong criticism was leveled at Donald Trump’s remarks regarding the Democratic nominee for president. The White House also deemed Trump’s remarks to be repulsive and insulting.

“Kamala, I appreciate you sending me that lovely old photo! Donald Trump wrote, “Your warmth, friendship, and love of your Indian heritage are very much appreciated,” as the Truth Social post’s caption.

With a focus on Harris’s ethnic identity

The focus of Kamala Harris’s ethnic identity has emerged in both the Vice-Presidential candidate’s and the current US presidential campaign.

Republican of Indian descent Vivek Ramaswamy has also chastised her for selectively drawing on her Indian heritage.

She was always of Indian heritage. She was promoting Indian heritage only. Trump declared this at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) convention in Chicago, Illinois. I discovered a few years ago that she is black. Now, she prefers to be referred to as such. I’m not sure if she’s Black or Indian, then. CNN reported that Trump said.

“I have respect for both of them, but it’s clear that she doesn’t because she was raised Indian and then abruptly changed her identity to become Black. I believe that should also be looked into,” Trump continued.

Democratic candidate Harris launched her campaign for president this month following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from his bid. She has always acknowledged her Asian and Black identities. Harris is the first Asian-American and Black person to hold the position of vice president.

Since launching her presidential candidacy on July 21, Harris has faced multiple online attacks. Some taunts were sexist and racist. Far-right accounts have gone so far as to question her racial origin.

Harri’s Reaction to Trump’s Comment

Since launching her presidential candidacy on July 21, Harris has been the target of multiple online sexist and racist taunts, with some far-right accounts even going so far as to cast doubt on her racial origin.

Harris, who is of Indian and Jamaican descent, criticized Trump’s answer, calling it “the same old show of divisiveness and disrespect”.

“I just want to emphasize that the people of America deserve better. When faced with the facts, the American people deserve a leader who tells it like it is and does not react with animosity and rage. We ought to be led by someone who recognizes that our differences do not separate us. In a White House statement, Harris stated, “They are a vital source of our strength.”

Harris was born to an Indian mother and a Black father, both immigrants. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, emigrated to the US from Chennai in 1958, and her father, Donald Harris, was a Jamaican. But she only considers herself to be “American.”
