    What does this mean? I’m not American and this just seems incomprehensible to me.

      It’s incomprehensible to me as well. They’re implying a response that doesn’t exist to her being black or the president, that he’ll somehow be surprised to learn either. But the original “she isn’t black” statement was just saying that she embraced her Asian heritage more than her Afro-Caribbean. Following that logic he’d be… calling her a vice president still?

      Kamala is both Black and Indian, and Trump said that she only recently started claiming Blackness for electoral reasons. here’s the quote

      Is she Indian or is she Black? I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t, because she was Indian all the way and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person.

        Oh I see, so it’s the usual racist “You can’t be two things because that makes my brain hurt, so you must be only one thing!”
