Either you don't read the subject matter at the links you post or you don't comprehend it. Either way what the AP chose to underscore doesn't determine what she IS. Trump has irrevocably screwed himself with, lost most of the votes of, the many *multiracial voters in this country.

We confirmed that the headlines were authentic. On Nov. 9, 2016, AP posted a story titled, "California's Kamala Harris becomes first Indian-American US Senator" (archived). Nearly four years later, on Aug. 11, 2020, AP reported "Biden picks Kamala Harris as running mate, first Black woman" (archived).

Despite Trump's implication that the headlines were contradictory, they were not.

Harris' parents, who met when they were studying at the University of California, Berkeley, came from different backgrounds. Her father Donald J. Harris, a former professor of economics at Stanford University, is a Black man from Jamaica. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, a breast cancer researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was born in Chennai, India. Both of them became naturalized U.S. citizens and their daughter was born in the U.S., which means she was a U.S. citizen at birth.

While there had been Black U.S. senators before Harris, no Indian-American had ever been elected to the Senate: This is the fact that the AP sought to underscore in 2016. Later, in 2020, she became the first Black female and first Indian-American vice presidential nominee in history.

*According to the 2020 US Census, 33.8 million people, or 10.2% of the population, identified as multiracial, which is a 276% increase from 2010. This makes multiracial people the fastest-growing demographic in the country. The largest multiracial combinations in 2020 were:
White and some other race (19.3 million)
White and American Indian and Alaska Native (4 million)
White and Black or African American (3.1 million)
White and Asian (2.7 million)
Black or African American and some other race (1 million)
