Here& #39;s the thing.

Kamala Harris doesn& #39;t identify as Hindu. Her name is Hindu. She has Hindu roots. But she is a practicing Baptist. (There is no way this Christian Supremacist nation is ready for a non-Christian person in the executive branch.)
But she will be identified as (maybe ethnically) Hindu by those committed to assigning the blame of her negative political practices and record as a DA *onto* Hinduism itself (theologically, "scripturally").
The more that "Hindu nationalists" claim her as Hindu, the more success anti-Hinduism folks (like EL,"Sadhana") will have in peddling the narrative that Hinduism itself is theologically anti-black, oppressive, supremacist (Just like the Model Minority myth feeds this narrative.)
But the more that "Hindu nationalists" say "she& #39;s not a real Hindu", the more these people will say Hinduism is anti-black and that Hindus are trying to hide how oppressive Hinduism is.
Yeah, it& #39;s that twisted.

Life for practicing Hindu Americans is about to get worse.

I said what I said.
Also, KH is Black. That& #39;s not a question. If you don& #39;t understand how Blackness is constructed in the U.S., please educate yourselves. Look up the one-drop rule and stop posting snarky nonsense on my thread. It& #39;s read in the U.S. as "anti-Black". You& #39;re making things worse.
