    Am I missing something? I don’t see the big joke. She is half black and half Indian. In 2016, it would not make sense to report her as the first female African American senator ... because she wasn’t. There had been female African American senators. She was the first Indian American senator.

    Now she is both the first Indian-American VP candidate and first African-American female VP candidate, both are being reported.

    Hilarious example of fake news...

    As in there is some joke about media dishonesty in your picture that I’m misunderstanding?

    Or is this just a snarky insult that I’m generally “missing something”, as in I have a screw loose or something?

    I am Indian-American. My aunt had a kid with an African-American man, so I always thought my cousin was half African-American and half Indian-American.

    But now I’m not so sure. Perhaps my cousin’s very existence is fake news agenda from the liberal pedophiles

    But sorry, can’t talk, gotta run. Fox News is on and my favorite QAnon Youtuber dropped a new video. Time to get educated!

    So, if her dad were black and from Great Britain, she'd still be African American? Or we are going "most" from an island far from Africa?

    I mean, I want to help you out here. Media thread, so let's just make it up as we go? Sounds good to me.

    Moving on.

    he'd be of african descent, would he not?

    would you prefer if the media just referred to her as black? or is your outrage just directed at them using the term "african-american"?

    I don't have any outrage. I just laugh at their adjectives when convenient. Okay, she was first Indian American in Senate history. Why not continue that theme and use it again? Nope. Gotta go with the only demographic Biden was looking for. I call that pandering for votes.

    Your issue with “African-American” adjective for Kamala here as the problem with the media doesn’t make sense, because I’m the one who mistakenly addressed her as African American. The headline in the picture you posted used “black”.

    Your issue with them now using “black” instead of “Indian” as evidence of an agenda to pander for black votes is also false.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/politics/harris-indian-roots/index.html

    She is Indian. She is black. The democrats will obviously pander to both. There is nothing noteworthy about that at all. Just like there is nothing noteworthy about the racist dog whistles that come from the Trump camp and right wing media to pander to their base of white supremacists.
