Let's do a little thought experiment.

You are a spirit standing next to God looking down on America. God tells you he's about to send you down into the body of an infant to live a full human life and gives you a choice as to what race you'd like to be.

What are you going to choose, or are you going to tell God it doesn't matter?
Probably white because brown people are more likely to live in a poverty ridden shithole and they are more likely to live in an area with poorly funded schools.  That, and I like what I'm used too (I look White, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, and African American all at the same time).

Blacks are a protected class right now. We literally just had an Indian politician identify as black to get extra favors.

Kamala Harris’s father is Jamaican and her mother Indian. Both her parents are considered coloured and a Jamaican is definitely black.

There are Jamaicans of Indian, Chinese, European, Middle Eastern, East Indies, Pacific Islanders, and mixed ancestry, reflecting the many waves of migration and colonial influences.
To say all Jamaicans are "definitely Black" erases this diversity and the contributions of various groups to Jamaican culture. National identity in Jamaica is rooted in shared cultural values and traditions, not skin color, race or ethnicity.

Harris’s father was Donald Harris.
Donald Harris was an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaignfrom 1966 to 1967 and at Northwestern University from 1967 to 1968. He moved to the University of Wisconsin–Madison as an associate professor in 1968. In 1972, he joined the faculty of Stanford University as a professor of economics, and became the first black scholar to be granted tenure in Stanford's Department of Economics.[

Harris's paternal grandmother, born Christiana Brown, told Harris that she was descended from Irish-born plantation owner Hamilton Brown (1776–1843), who founded the local Anglican Church where she is buried.

] In 2018, Kamala Harris' father, economist Donald J. Harris, wrote in his work Reflections of a Jamaican Father that his paternal grandmother was Christiana Brown, a descendant of "plantation and slave owner Hamilton Brown."[17]
In 2019, fact-checker Snopes rated Donald's claim as being unproven pending further research, while noting that Hamilton Brown did have mixed-race offspring.

That is how you add up white privilege.
It's called logic

Why do you refuse to believe that Harris is biracial?  I'm guessing there will be no answer because cult members can't justify why they believe something other than, "Our leader said it; it must be true".
