This, and really your whole comment, comes across like it’s okay for one person to decide another isn’t what they identify as because their experiences were not the same.
Using the social construct argument who is Janet Jackson to say Kamala Harris or anybody else is not black.
Getting some real Dwight Schrute vibes here. Shouldn’t Janet have called Kamala Caucasian?
Dwight: You said the program is not open to Caucasians. Well… anthropologically, she is Indian. Indians migrated from the caucuses region of Europe. Therefore, technically, she is Caucasian. You’re welcome, America.

My position would actually be that Janet Jackson has a right to say this, and I think her position, and the position of other people who have a take on culture, race, its expression, etc., are also interesting.
I assume you have a similar enough position - let Janet talk, and let her be wrong (if you think she is wrong), and I suppose it’s just fun for me to discuss it.
