Honestly there are layers to this stupidity about Kamala's race. For anyone who thinks about it for even a moment, even if she's doing what they say she is, it reflects poorly only on them, not her.

Copy/pasting a prior response to save myself some typing:

EVEN IF their accusations were true, the conditions encouraging someone to hide their race weren’t created by Kamala Harris. They were created by racist bigots. And racist bigots these days tend to gravitate towards one party more than the other. The very clear defense would be "I had to hide my race so that bigots like you would judge me for my accomplishments, not my skin tone." (even though folks like that wouldn't consider Indian to be much of an upgrade)

Literally no one who isn't a bigot cares about this. They are outing themselves and nothing more.
