Mindy Kaling jokingly admits to inadvertently revealing Kamala Harris’s Indian heritage during her DNC speech

Actor Mindy Kaling jokes about “outing” Vice President Kamala Harris as Indian in a viral dosa-making video from four years ago. Kaling recalls meeting Harris for the first time during the filming of the video and bonding over their shared immigrant backgrounds and the loss of their mothers. Kaling praises Harris’ mother, Shyamala Harris, for passing down optimism and fearlessness to her daughter. The right has subjected Harris’ race to scrutiny and racism, with former President Donald Trump questioning whether she is Indian or Black. Harris is both, with a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. Kaling admits that Harris’ dosa was better than hers during the cooking video, but appreciated Harris’ kind words and encouragement throughout the process. The bond between Kaling and Harris showcases the diversity and strength of the Indian American community.
