Depuis qu'elle est candidate à la présidence, Kamala Harris se présente comme noire pour gagner des voix auprès de cet électorat, alors qu'elle se présentait comme indienne auparavant.

The review says Harris has presented herself as a Black woman throughout her career while also expressing pride in her Indian heritage. It explains that the circulated video shows her cooking an Indian recipe with Mindy Kaling and does not establish that Harris previously described herself only as Indian.
