From Infidel753:
Much has been made of Kamala Harris’s status as the first black woman on a major-party presidential ticket, and this is indeed a historic milestone. But the other side of her background — the Indian side — deserves attention too.
Harris’s early exposure to Indian culture was substantial. As a child in California she attended both a Christian church and a Hindu temple (this in itself an encouraging sign that her parents were not dogmatic about religion), and also visited her mother’s family in Chennai in India several times. The name “Kamala” is of Indian origin. Even if she doesn’t strongly self-identify as Indian-American, she’s certainly far more familiar with India and its culture than most Americans are.
This matters because she has a strong chance of succeeding Biden as president.
