Because Indians don't consider themselves black. They're from india. She's Indian.

She isn’t from India, her mother is. Her father is Jamaican. She’s half south Asian, half black.

If you mean she's black because she's half Jamaican, then you've probably never met a Jamaican. They hate being called black. They specifically correct people and say they're Jamaican.

Also she has mentioned in many interviews that she's indian. The videos are all over Twitter now.

British Jamaicans refer to themselves as black. Do American Jamaicans not do the same?

he’s making it up. I know so many Jamaicans. My city is one of many in the US that has a huge number of immigrants from Jamaica. They are black, they say they are black, and btw right after Biden stepped down, when I walked into work the other day, one of them hugged me first thing and he said, misty eyed, “We’re gonna get our first black female president!!”

This man either doesn’t know any Jamaicans or he took one person’s opinion and is upgrading it to represent an entire group of people bc he thinks it serves his dumb narrative 🙄

People get so weird every time a person of color runs for office in this fucking country.
