Why is Kamala called the 1st black VP?

I see that she is Jamaican & Indian. Why is she not considered either one of those
nationalities?

Because to racists, anyone who is not White is Black, regardless of heritage.

You should know that.

@SW-User I do remember learning that back in the days of slavery, if a white man got
a black woman pregnant, the offspring could not be called white, due to racist's
wanting to keep the "White" pure. Is that also why Obama is called black by the
Democrats? It takes a special kind of Racist, to call someone black,
that is 1/2 white

@DogMan It does indeed. And most of them are on this site.

@DogMan I consider Obama bi-racial. He may consider himself black. I am fine with that.

Halle Berry considers herself black. No problem by me.
