Sunday’s Los Angeles Times presented a front-page article on presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who is not close to being a front-runner, but she is a diverse Californian who favors open borders, and that qualifies her for attention from the paper.

Much of the media coverage of Harris’ background has focused on the black half coming from her Jamaican father — like when PBS’ Gwen Ifill called her the “female Barack Obama” — but the Times considers her Indian background from mother Shyamala and family, and those roots go deep. The reader learns that as a girl, Kamala had “extended visits to India” where she grew close to her aunts and uncles. Her grandfather P.V. Gopalan was a civil servant who influenced her choice of a career in public service.

Citizens of India take great interest in their immigrants to America and don’t want them to forget their roots in the Subcontinent. One example was the half-Indian, Ohio-born astronaut Sunita Lyn Williams whose 2006 flight into space inspired rapturous attention among countless Indians who were filled with pride at her success.

Similarly, after a Harris stump speech filled with praise for her Indian values, an audience member asked whether she would wear a sari at her inauguration. Harris sidestepped by saying, “Let’s first win.”

The Times article shows a young Harris wearing a sari, so she is familiar with the garment. Are we diverse enough yet?
