“What would be the problem if Kamala was Afghan?”
The problem is that she wasn’t born here, and is INELIGIBLE to hold the office of Vice President! Now, here’s my question: why do you think it’s okay for somebody of Afghan descent to serve in an American office? The ONLY reason somebody would condone that, is if they are secretly a Muslim!

Classic Trifecta! And a non sequitur to boot.
Now, here’s my question: why do you think it’s okay for somebody of Afghan descent to serve in an American office?
Because people are not genetically bound to the allegiances of their ancestors. Washington and co. certainly were not prevented by their English descent from choosing their family’s new home in the American colonies over the motherland.
The ONLY reason somebody would condone that, is if they are secretly a Muslim!
Or they are secretly a non-Islamic Afghan nationalist. Or they have some sinister motive that is unrelated to ancestry and/or religion. Or, you know, they do not believe that talent should be rejected for petty accidents of birth and thus could not care less for the “natural-born American” clause…

Humayun Khan. If that’s not enough of a why, then there’s no conversation possible.
...and here we go with the 'Birther' BS again.
Previously, that re. Obama was debunked: so what's your problem with Harris now, Bob...?!
Apparently, wingnuts are under the impression that all non-white Americans were born in some other country… as if there’s something in the soil of most of North America that renders non-whites sterile… which should be a huge surprise for the non-whites who lived and reproduced in America for millennia before the whites settled and cruelly took over.
On top of that, the venerable all-American Black Church tradition and the awesomeness of Gospel music never happened because all Black people are genetically Muslims… even the animist Africans millennia ago before anything Abrahamic arrived there.
Yes, I’m aware that Kamala is Indian & West Indies (though the latter could qualify as mostly African-descent as well).
Oh right, Indian descent isn't Afghan or Native American either. But it sounds like you're saying she should put on a burqa, then go back to the kitchen, live in purdah. Good luck with that!
Oh by the way, I looked up what the supposed controversy about Harris’s eligibility for VP was all about, because I didn’t really remember it off the top of my head. Unless I am missing something, no one was even arguing that she wasn’t born in the US! The issue was about whether she’s a “natural born citizen” since her parents weren’t citizens at the time of her birth.
Given she didn’t got her US citizenship by naturalization and that VP has the same requirement as POTUS, she was rightly deemed as able to occupy her post, apart i you want to claim non-Whites have no political rights at all.
The COTUS prohibits religious tests to hold public office. Eventually, the US will have an openly Muslim President. Unfortunately, it will almost certainly be before we have an openly Atheist President.

eh… I wouldn’t be quick to suggest that… sure I’ll be old by then (or midage) but younger Americans are becoming less and less religious these days with each passing generation.
as for this idiot… one she’s not Afghani, she’s Afro-Asian mixed race (specifically African-Indian), second, she’s a Christian, a baptist no less, and third, she was born in California which is apart of the US so that makes her American via Birth-right Citizenship.
The problem isn’t that she was born here and is ELIGIBLE to hold the office of Vices of President! Now, my queer shit’s one: why do you think it’s okay for somebody Afghan American to serve in an Indecent office? The ONLY reason somebody could now do the tan, is if they are a secret Milly sum!
@pyro #103080
It’s inertia, holdover from the Obama birther movement, and arguments they half-remember and a quarter-understood about his being natural born in Kenya….
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
