Kamala Harris

I can only answer one at a time. I know I'm in demand. I must say, I hope Trump wins to see the fallout on here. It will be delicious!
You have asked why people in this thread think you are a thick ****, and you have answered the question yourself.
 
Why is it racist? It's the way she uses her identity, along with the media, not what I think of it.

You are talking shit now mate. Just admit you are wrong
Going on ignore now. Not going to waste my time on someone with your attitude to race.
 
Why?
Certainly sounds like you have a problem with them.
Maybe it’s because you’re a racist, which would go some way to explain your preference for Trump.

Why would someone be racist because they make an observation on something or because of which major political party they support?
 
No its not! You do know what the word racist means don't you?
People pointing out that someone may identify as a different race to suit a situation is not even close to being racist. In fact it could be argued the person who swaps their identity to please, are racist and guilty of race appropriation.

The random way the word is thrown around is disrespectful to anyone who has ever been a victim of racism.

Ah. So regardless of what she has said and done, it’s okay for someone who isn’t her to simply declare that she’s acting black or Indian (already racist to make such a designation) to suit the situation. And to criticiz(s)e that “presentation” regardless of her intent or lack thereof. Note the poster in question provided no examples by the way — he made a blanket accusation — not that “acting” in some “black” or “Indian” way isn’t already a massive racially-charged generaliz(s)ation.

If we’re talking about, say, Liz Warren, who exaggerated her Native American ancestry on her college application, that’s different. That’s appropriation. But Harris IS black and Indian, is she not?

Are you of mixed race heritage?

Mixed race people aren't obliged to identify themselves to satisfy racists.

Not only is it racist, it's an accusation totally invented by Trump which gullible fools have taken as fact.

I am indeed.

IT IS NOT RACIST to make an observation on an individuals actions. You continue to minimise real racism and disrespect real victims.

She is black and Indian, however if she chooses which one to identify with, to fit a narrative, the person who comments on it isn't racist.
