When Even the Woke Aren’t Woke Enough

The Olympics might not happen this year (again), but the Woke Olympics continue unabated. The latest entrant to the competition is the Vice-President of the United States, Kamala Harris. Well, not the Vice-President herself directly, but the victim groups in the Democrat Party fighting over claiming her as their own and her by proxy through the left-wing media. Harris qualifies for a special medal for being both a victim and a perp in the progressive game of victimization.
Politico ran an unintentionally hilarious and telling piece that offered a peek into how the modern Democrat Party works. It’s title, “How Kamala Harris became a victim of the barriers she broke,” is perfect – only a leftist can couple accomplishment with oppression.
The story goes that Harris, whose father was black and her mother was Indian, has embraced her black ethnicity but not her Indian or, as the article puts it, Asian heritage. Politico writes, “Harris carried many firsts with her into the vice presidency. The daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father, she is the first woman, Black person, Asian American, Indian American and biracial woman to serve as vice president.”
Only in Woke World can you both be “Asian American” and “Indian American,” as most people recognize the difference between the ethnicities and cultures in India and all of Asia. If she started wearing a kimono or dressed like a Geisha there would be outrage from the left, of course. But the Indian American vote wasn’t big enough for Democrats to pander to, so they rolled it into the continent and played the bigger con.
