Trump said Harris was Indian and then “made a turn” and “became a Black person.”
This is blatant mischaracterization of Harris’ heritage and how she has spoken about, and has identified with, her racial background and ethnicity. Harris, born of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, has long identified as a Black woman who grew up in a multicultural household. She attended a historically Black university, pledged a historically Black sorority, and has given interviews and written about her experience embracing her Indian culture while living as a Black woman.
