Donald Trump's questioning of Kamala Harris's racial identity has sparked outrage and raised questions about racial politics. Trump's comments come as he attempts to reach out to Black voters but may backfire as they are seen as divisive and disrespectful.

Harris, who has long embraced her Black and South Asian heritage, has stated that she is proud of being Black. The White House Press Secretary condemned Trump's remarks as repulsive and insulting.

The controversy comes at a critical time, less than three weeks before the Democratic National Convention where Harris is expected to be formally nominated. The incident highlights the increasing trend of multiracial identity in America, with over 12% of Americans identifying as multiracial.

The Latino and Asian populations have also seen significant growth, contributing to the rise in multiracial children. Trump's remarks have faced criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, further highlighting the divisive nature of his rhetoric.

Trump Remarks on Harris Evoke a Haunting and Unsettling History

Politics
At a gathering of Black journalists, Donald J. Trump, a white man, questioned Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity, evoking a history of white America determining racial categories and belonging, and amplifying racial politics as Black politicians have ascended, prompting a low rumble that grew into a roar of disapproval, as the audacity of a white man questioning a Black woman's belonging to Black America was particularly incendiary, though hardly surprising given Trump's history of..
