Kamala Harris was nominated by President Joseph Biden to be the Democratic Party's candidate for the presidency of the United States, from that moment on, an endless number of opinions for and against were unleashed, among the most controversial being those of the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, who has attacked her with racist and sexist comments.
This was pointed out by doctor of sociology Anna Lee Mraz on the radio show Hecho en California in collaboration with Peninsula 360 Press, where he recalled that Harris is a 59-year-old woman with a long career, in addition to being the first woman in the history of the United States to hold the position of vice president, marking a milestone by being the first Black and South Asian American woman elected to that position after being named Biden's running mate in the 2020 election.
She was the first black woman from California to serve in the Senate, and now she is also the first person of Indian descent to appear on a presidential ticket, an action that has earned her a series of criticisms and trials based on false information, she noted. Mraz.
"The attacks are racist, sexist and sexualized, where Trump has called her crazy and stupid, attacking the capacity she has as a woman," Mraz added.
Furthermore, she said, mental health conditions have been used to attack and humiliate her as a woman, generating the idea of superiority, as if what is ?normal? It is the most capable.
In that sense, he pointed out that these attacks use the term "loca" as a socially powerful tool to silence women.
"Women who are strong like Kamala are immediately disqualified because the word crazy is a strong signal," commented the sociologist.
On the other hand, she explained that her ability to be president is being attacked in terms of DEA (diversity, equity and inclusion) hiring, which seeks to generate the idea that she is not capable, that she is not qualified for the position and was only taken into account. counts based on their race and gender, regardless of their knowledge and hard work.
Manuel Ortiz, sociologist and journalist, added that in 2017 a group of 35 mental health professionals warned that Donald Trump was not capable of being the leader of a nation and, nevertheless, his term ended.
?At the time, there was talk about Trump's mental health and specialists claimed that he was not fit, now Kamala is being attacked without conclusive evidence, because anyone has the right to take care of their mental health and that does not make them less capable of fulfilling their duties. ?, said.
