Kamala Harris is mixed race, I’m mixed race – and Donald Trump is a dusty old relic | Arwa Mahdawi

Predictions are a fool's game. But I'll tell you one thing any fool could have predicted: that Donald Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists' convention last week would involve him saying something stupid and racist.

Lo and behold, this is exactly what happened. When asked about Kamala Harris, Trump complained that the vice-president seemed to have undergone some sort of racial metamorphosis. I didn't know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black," Trump proclaimed. So, Idon't know, is she Indian or is she Black?"
