Oh please, Kamala is the one changing her accent depending upon the crowd at her events. Watch old movies and you'll see what I meant by the "mammy" comment.
No, it isn't the same as you speaking to your family. That's real. Kamala isn't.
Yes, I'm aware of what she's doing. It's called code-switching.
I just posted about it here to the OP, you should read it.
People with multicultural backgrounds code-switch all the time, not only with their families. It's common to code-switch at work, as well. And that is her work. And they're just as "real" as you are.
There is plenty of things to criticize Harris over. I don't understand why people are picking this to make such a fuss over.
All it's doing is playing in to the stereotype that conservatives/MAGA/Anons are racists who can't grasp the concept of multiculturalism and just don't like brown people.
If you can explain how it hurts you, or anyone else, in any actual way that she uses different accents to connect with different audiences, I would love to hear it.
Do you guys just not get it that you're not doing anything good by making a big deal out of her heritage?
Seriously, what is to be gained by this? Other than emphasizing that you're out of touch with how many Americans are also from multicultural backgrounds and a)understand that code-switching is ubiquitous and b) are getting pretty sick of people saying she's "fake" for doing so, or that there's something wrong with it.
I'm going to point out that code-switching is encouraged by the same people who are criticizing her for doing it.
Just think of all the times you've heard someone criticized for not speaking "proper English" at school or work. Or for having "ethnic" hairstyles. Or wearing "ethnic" clothes?
All of that is involved in code-switching. So, basically, the idea is that people are encouraged to "act white" when they're in a predominantly white setting.
What Harris is being criticized for here is basically not "acting white" all the time in public and for understanding what people of different cultural backgrounds value, and showing that she understands that and can identify with them.
And that's really what you want to make a point of criticizing her for?
Also, I'd love for you to give an example of a time where she spoke like whatever it is that you believe a "mammy" sounds like.
I told you to watch old movies, like Gone With the Wind for instance.
No, I'm not criticizing Kamala for not acting White and you know it.
Grow a pair and stop acting like a snowflake.

I have seen Gone With the Wind. I have never heard or seen Harris speak or act like Mammy from Gone With the Wind.
So, again, please tell me of a time where you've seen her speak or act like Mammy from Gone With the Wind.
