Her mother is from India and her father is from Jamaica. Harris was born in California.
As far as I know there's no direct charge like how they said Obama was from Kenya - it's just enough that her parents are POC and from other countries for them to start positing that bullshit line "I'm just asking questions!"
Is there something deeper to how two of the black people who reached the highest positions in the US state apparatus aren't 'african americans' so to speak?
Yes, it does speak volumes about the generational deprivation inflicted on Black americans that the most successful POC in the US in recent years have been children of recent immigrants and not descendants of slaves. But that point is easily lost in a sea of gatekeeping bourgeois identity politics and racist birtherism.
The same people who compalin about her 'not being born here" proudly celebrate their Irish ancestry on St. Patty's day. Or talk about themselves as "Scottish" or "Irish" or "German" or whatever.
It's always been about race, not about where you're from.
