evidence: Kamala Harris has always identified as Indian American and Black [...] Former president Donald Trump falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris has only recently begun identifying as Black, and that until a few years ago "she was only promoting Indian heritage." That’s nonsense. [...] That last part is true. According to a copy of Harris’ birth certificate posted by the Mercury News in August 2020, Harris’ race is not recorded — because there is no box for it. The certificate notes that Harris’ mother, who was living in Berkeley, California, was born in India. Where certificate form asks for the "color or race of mother," it is marked "Caucasian."
