After Donald Trump told journalists on Wednesday that his presidential opponent Kamala Harris “turned Black” for political gain, Trump’s comments have impacted the way many multirace voters are thinking about the two candidates. “She was only promoting Indian heritage,” the former president said during an interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention last week.
Emily Grullón, 33, of Los Angeles, said Trump’s comment only highlight the microaggressions mixed-race people often experience in the United States. She said she hopes this controversy will prompt a national conversation about these experiences. “Was I surprised at his comments? Not so much,” said Grullón, who is an Afro-Indigenous Latina with Dominican roots. “I don’t support his comments, but I’m glad we can now have this discussion.
