Democratic Nominee in 2020

Quote: Pacomartin

Kamala is not exactly a traditional Navajo name.

Who said it was? (or were you being sarcastic?)

I was being sarcastic but in response to Terapined's comment.

Ethnic Indian from North America
Ethnic Indian from the country of India
I'm OK with both

I am Spanish, Hungarian, Arab, and French/German border region. It doesn't matter if anyone is OK with it, since it is merely a statement of fact.
I like Spanish tortilla, Chicken paprikash, and Grape leaves since those are the foods I grew up with. I didn't grow up with French food since my great grandfather died in 1972, and no one maintained the French culture.

I'm German/Irish/English. My dad even
married a woman, my mother, that had
the same German last name as he did.
No relation, we hope. Imagine what
I've gone thru all my life when asked
for my moms maiden name.

"No, SIR, your mothers name BEFORE she married your dad'"

I repeat it.

"SIR, you don't understand."

Me: "What can I say, we have a very close family."

The Spanish tradition is to use your mother's maiden name as your middle name, resulting in this very funny 1950's TV scene with a contestant from San Antonio.

IIRC, didn't you say you had some Syrian relation?

Yes, from close to the Lebanese border. That's Uncle George on the right.

I can't imagine what daily life has been like the last few years in that area.

I've said before that I find Kamala Harris rather attractive, but if I saw her on the street and didn't know her, I'd guess she was a well-tanned white California girl.

The campaign photos don't seem to be chosen to emphasize that she is African American

She's such an unlikable witch that I
find her not in the least bit attractive.
Mean and nasty women are never attractive.
