I mean the dude's a very slightly left-leaning neoliberal economist at Princeton so let's not give him too much credit. He's mostly pissed at all the "Jamaicans like smoking weed" references his daughter keeps making.

Wild isn't it, imagine having a daughter who first gained notoriety for her brutal ""tough on crime"" policies which imprisoned people (predominantly black and other POC though that's obvious) for weed, and then made a 180° turn to becoming the most annoying "weed, bro" stereotype panderer.
Looking it up if nothing else it had a hell of a payoff: https://web.archive.org/web/20190218061545/https://www.jamaicaglobalonline.com/donald-harris-slams-his-daughter-senator-kamala-harris-for-fraudulently-stereotyping-jamaicans-and-accusing-her-of-playing-identity-politics/
“My dear departed grandmothers(whose extraordinary legacy I described in a recent essay on this website), as well as my deceased parents , must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics. Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty.”
Gee, real head scratcher.
God that must feel awful watching your daughter turn in to girlboss hitler.

It isn't the most infuriating thing that she's done, but it's up there.

It's like Buttigieg's dad, people hear Marxist and think some sort of radical, instead of a boringly standard academic in history or economics.
And she's like "first off I'm gonna be a cop"
No! That's not how this works! Poor dude
