Here's the thing.

Kamala Harris doesn'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'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's that twisted.

Life for practicing Hindu Americans is about to get worse.

I said what I said.

Also, KH is Black. That's not a question. If you don'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's read in the U.S. as "anti-Black". You're making things worse.
