Kamala Harris, the daughter of an Indian Tamil mother – Dr. Shyamala Gopalan, and an African American father- professor Donald Harris, has been a popular name in the media in the last few days. The current attorney general for California was introduced by president Barack Obama as “..the best-looking attorney general” at a Democratic National Committee fundraising lunch in Atherton, Calif. This caused an outburst from some men and women, who were appalled that the president would remark on Harris’ appearance in a public forum.
