   As Joe Biden announced that Kamala Harris would be his running mate,   
   commentators got excited, pointing out that she would be the first   
   ‘Indian-American, first African-American and first female candidate   
   running on a national party’s presidential ticket.   
      
   That would be technically incorrect. For starters, Harris’ father   
   was Jamaican and her mother from Chennai. She was largely raised by   
   her mother after her parents got divorced.   
      
   While she has said she has gone to temples, Harris often speaks   
   about attending predominantly Black churches in Oakland and   
   Berkeley.   
      
   While married to a Jew, she considers herself a Black Baptist.   
      
   A Baptist, for those who don’t know their Christian denominations,   
   refers to members who ‘baptize believers by immersion and that is   
   usually Calvinistic in doctrine, named after John the Baptist.   
      
   However, when she’s not making masala dosas with Mindy Kaling,   
   Harris prefers to wear her black identity more than her Indian one,   
   even though she was raised by a Hindu mother.
