"To be very clear, being a person of color is not a choice. We do not decide to just be a race because it's fitting, is opportunistic. Many of us, especially in America, are born into a country that has systematically marginalized its Black and brown people, and yet, now we are being accused of appropriating our own race."
as someone who is biracial ... it's extremely insulting to question one's "blackness" b/c they openly celebrate both parts of them. you can't "turn Black" if you ARE Black. also, being Black doesn't look a particular way " it's literally the entire concept behind racial identity https://t.co/PxIH0dRV3S

"In the 2020 United States census, 33.8 million individuals or 10.2% of the population, self-identified as multiracial. There is evidence that an accounting by genetic ancestry would produce a higher number. " Multiracial Americans en.wikipedia.org
Trump doing a bang-up job speaking to ten percent of Americans. Dollars to doughnuts he openly calls Kamala the N-word before this election is over.

"I'm Black, and I'm proud of being Black," Harris said in 2019. "I was born Black. I will die Black, and I'm not going to make excuses for anybody because they don't understand." - 2019.
See she the issue is that she's a chameleon, anyone who has ever been around liars would know this isn't someone you can trust.
She could just say she's biracial. No big deal. But she can't, this is known as CodeSwitching, its dishonest.
@#8 ... For example if you're from North Ireland they don't want to hear that they will accept Irish or British. ...
Yeah, but the United States is not Northern Ireland.
I often identify my ancestors as being from two very separate countries.
Indeed, even the Census allows for declaration of combo racial identification.
So, why does fmr Pres Trump seem to have so much difficulty with it.

... Donald Trump's audacious lie about Vice President Kamala Harris' race confirmed what many had long suspected: running against a Black woman could summon the former president's worst impulses. ...

Harris, 59, has long embraced her Black and South Asian identity.
