Democrats see racism in GOP mispronunciations of ‘Kamala’
By SARA BURNETT43 minutes ago
CHICAGO (AP) — Bantering during the final night of the Democratic National Convention, actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang repeatedly got the name of “our current vice president†wrong. Was it “Mika Pints?†or “Paints?†Or maybe “Ponce,†Yang suggested.
“Oh, some kind of weird foreign name?†Louis-Dreyfus asked.
“Yeah, not very American sounding,†Yang replied.
It was a quick bit of satire with a pointed message from Democrats: When top Republicans — including President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence — mispronounce Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ first name, it’s not just disrespectful, it’s racist.
