I agree.

That's why I retracted my claim with apologies.

Trump was not good for Canada either but between Biden and Trump Biden has been worse.

black? her mother is a tamil/Indian.
father is white/African. lagtight how is that black?

looks like a typical Indian to me.
imdians are black now? for sure?

Her mother looks Indian too probably bc she is indian.

Washoe,

You come back from a long ban and immediately start up with terrible posting again? Of course Kamala Harris's mother is Indian. Everyone knows that. I haven't checked, but I'm sure she has discussed her Indian heritage at length in various forums. I don't know anything about Harris's paternal grandparents, but I can assure you that her father was regarded as a black man when he moved from Jamaica to the United States.

Washoe getting down to brass tacks as per usual.

washoe takes are so far out of left field that I have no clue how to react

to the bolded, and that's exacly what's so racist and wrong with that.
I have an ex gf that's 100% white who had children with a guy with a 100% white mother, father African American. the kids are 25% African at best, one looks completely white the other has a fro and looks a bit tanned. To you and some other folks he is black, again that's not true, it's officially and scientifically 25% African at best.

Harris is the same story, she is Indian 50%, 25% African, 25% white. that's not black, that language is for kindergarden and racists imo. and it's wrong every way you put it.

But that does not wonder me one bit, even coming from "academics" like lagtight and you. to summarize, Indians are black/African, and Arabs are brown and black too, even though that's completely wrong. alrighty then.

washoe, as is so often the case with your posts, maybe you should learn a little bit about the subject before going off and telling people they're wrong. Here's a good place to start:

https://www.vox.com/identities/2020/...ndian-identity

I can't even continue reading that. I stopped after I read 3 times them labelling her black. 3 times Asian. what is it now? it's nothing she is a human. you can't say she is black, that's only 25% true. you can't say she is Indian either. what you like is to put labels on people so you can racially profile them. I'm not daccord and neither should you be.

weird world you have there and your labels. In that world tiger woods is only black too, even though he is 50% Asian. but that completely falls under the table even though Asian is the maternal side imo. anyways I'm done with this bs. lagtight got it wrong and mislabelled her and then the other guy. and now even rocococo and bobo chime in and have no problem with that.

Washoe, How do you feel about the unfair slandering of Elizabeth Warren?

It's complicated. And it's not up to you or I to say how Kamala Harris should see herself. I expect that she considers herself to be both brown and black, Indian/American and African/American, whatever terminology she may choose. She's allowed to be more than one thing.

I'm not deciding what "label" she should have, I'm telling you that you deciding what it should be and then telling other people they are racist for using a different label, isn't appropriate. Also, a HUGE LOL at you telling others that they like to put labels on people after your last several posts:

Warren is an idiot if I'm not mistaking who is ignoring what really happened.

those kids got attacked and abused first but that was ignored.

yea I read a bit about her now.

she is labelling herself as black/indian, African/ Asian. that should be in the headlines and they are all mislabbeling her if they only mention one part. she doesn't get much support when she says she is Indian as the the US doesn't have so many Indians as they do Africans. so she is fine with the labels imo. it's complicated if you are mixed I agree with you.

I honestly don't know what is the matter with you, washoe.

If you go back and read my post, you will see that I didn't label Kamala Harris any sort of way. She obviously is of mixed ethnicity. As far as I know, no one, including her, has ever claimed otherwise.

what's the matter with me? the question is rather what's the matter with you when you say" I can asure you he wad regarded as a black man" and then have no problem with that.
why was he regarded as a black man? when he is 50% caucasian?? you gotta explain to me that logic!

anyways you and bobo: while you are at it could you explain to me why whites are regarded as Caucasians? with the emphasis on Asian?

No, the question should lie with what's going on with you. You've created your own standards of what we should be labelling people, and are calling out other people for not doing it the way you think is right. It's not at all unusual for people to refer to themselves black when they are of mixed race. I think it would be wise of you to stop telling everyone else how they should label people when you seem to have little knowledge of how it works in the real world.

That emphasis is purely your own. an/ian/ean are suffixes that means belonging or relating to. Canadian, American, German, etc. And there's often some abbreviating, so we don't say Germanyian, or Americaian, or Asiaian - instead it's German, American, Asian (consistency is a struggle in English, LOL). So the "Asian" in Caucasian is nothing but a coincidence in the combining/abbreviating of Caucasus with the an/ian/ean suffix. Kind of funny you'd ask, since it originates in your country.

Because it would sound very silly if we put the emphasis on CAUCasians. It would make me giggle.

You are perhaps the only current poster who correctly understands how Evolution Philosophy works.

I'm glad someone has the courage to openly state the logical consequence of Evolution Philosophy.

Rereading this, I'll just clarify on one thing - this very white guy is not an authority on this stuff. I'm just saying that from my own observations, you've probably got a bit of learning to do on this, and so it doesn't make a lot of sense for you to be telling others how they should label people.

I also made the assumption you thought that there was some word etymology link between Caucasian and Asian; if you had some other point, I don't have the foggiest idea what it was.

yeah lets end this derail.

Good idea. Thank you.

you're welcome.
