It’s almost funny how close he is to getting it; Kamala isn’t half Indian and half Jamaican, but 100% both of those things, and also this is in no way contradictory to the fact that Harris is American. Trump is a shortsighted dumbass but his confusion is actually legit here because what’s happening is his mental model of race and ethnicity isn’t compatible with the reality of how race, ethnicity and heritage is understood for many people. If only he would show a modicum of introspection, this confusion might’ve been a useful learning point. Unfortunately, he will allow himself no such growth.
