She sure looked dark enough. LOL
Many people in India are dark. They also embrace the caste system which is .... elitism and SLAVERY.
She should be placed in the Untouchable category.
lol I found her name change interesting - I wondered if it was related to gender, or caste or something else: wiki says
She was originally named Kamala Iyer Harris by her parents, who two weeks later filled an affidavit by which her middle name was changed to Devi.
Iyers (also spelt as Ayyar, Aiyar, Ayer, or Aiyer) are an ethnoreligious community of Tamil-speaking Hindu Brahmins. Most Iyers are followers of the Advaita philosophy propounded by Adi Shankara and adhere to the Smarta tradition. This is in contrast to the Iyengar community, who are adherents of Sri Vaishnavism. The Iyers and the Iyengars are together referred to as Tamil Brahmins. The majority of Iyers reside in Tamil Nadu, India.
On one side, her mother is a Gopalan, a military caste. Iyer is her father side name caste, and she changed from that to Devi which is not her mother name caste but is also a military caste based name from what I can tell.
Wow. Wondering why the change?
Maybe lyer just sounded like liar? Wouldn't that be funny.
