After Donald Trump told journalists on Wednesday that his presidential opponent Kamala Harris “turned Black” for political gain, Trump’s comments have impacted the way many multirace voters are thinking about the two candidates.
“She was only promoting Indian heritage,” the former president said during an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention last week. “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black.”
“Is she Indian or is she Black?” he asked.
She’s both.
Harris, whose mother was Indian and her father is Jamaican, would make history if she is elected president. She would be both the first female president and the first Asian American president.
Multiracial American voters say they have heard similar derogatory remarks about their identities their whole lives. Some identify with Harris’ politics more than others but, overall, they told NBC News that Trump’s comments will not go unnoticed.
In all fairness, paper straws are the worst
Never tried one. Never seen them offered anywhere around here, but I also don’t each out much. They do seem like a pretty bad idea; I’d just use a reusable straw if I used straws frequently.
Paper straws would work great if they just coated them in plastic. Then they wouldn’t disintegrate before you finished your drink.
And if they threw in some radium, we would feel fantastic when our immune systems went into overdrive.
