All that matters is what the Indian and Jamaican or other blacks believe. And it's up to them to decide on their own how black or south Asian she is.

What a racist and untrue statement. Many white people voted for Obama because he was part black.
Coming from a background that enabled you to understand how non-elites feel was a benefit to most normal Americans of all races.
What matters is Kamala is not being completely honest about her background. Her experiences were closer to the white slaver owners than to African slaves.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris published photos of herself with a woman she claimed was her paternal grandmother, who died four years before Harris was born.
FALSE
Harris' paternal grandmother died in 1995, when Harris was 31. An unrelated woman at the center of the claim died in 1960.
In late September 2024, conspiracy theorist Candace Owens asserted that she had made an incredible discovery: In her 2019 memoir, "The Truths We Hold," U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris published a photo of herself with "a Black-looking grandmother" despite the fact that her grandmother had died, Owens claimed, four years before Harris was born.
Fact Check: Grandmother In Kamala Harris Autobiography Photo Is NOT Fake -- Woman With Similar Name Died Years Before Harris Was Born
Kamala Harris’ grandmother is Beryl Christie Harris
First, let me just start by pointing out that Kamala Harris’ grandmother was born Beryl Christie Finegan, and was later known as Beryl Christie Harris after her marriage to Oscar Joseph Harris.
Claim appears to be based on wrong record
The claim that Kamala Harris’ grandmother died 4 years before she was born appears to be based on the wrong death record on an open-source website called Find a Grave. That could explain why people are sharing a screenshot, instead of the link to the actual page.
If you go to the actual page for Memorial ID 272680650, you will notice it is for a different woman – Beril Madeline Finegan Harris.

Hell. If Barry Sotero can use the IC to wash his past and give his persona a once-over, than I don’t see why this is gonna have any bearing on anything.
Par for the course in 2024 if true.
At least Barry didn't lie about his race in order to help his election chances.
Jamaicans were not brought here as slaves. They (like Kamala's daddy) came here as free men and women. Most of them educated. Kamala is attempting to portray herself as someone who would be eligible for reparations. Only African Americans would be eligible. Kamala is not African American.

So people aren't even allowed to comment or speculate on race now as that is racist?
That's just plain stupid.
