Kamala Harris' Ethnicity: What Is Her Ethnic Background?

What should Kamala Harris identify as, black or Indian?
Her father was from Jamaca, and her mother was from India, yet she is referred to as Black.
With Kamala being half black and half Indian, are we then to assume that one's Black ethnicity supersedes one that is Indian?
In 2019, Harris told The Washington Post that she identifies as “an American.” According to USA Today, Harris “spent most of her childhood in the U.S. before moving to Quebec at age 12 and staying through high school,” noting, “The federal government counts people of Jamaican ancestry as Black or African American.”
Why does the federal government count Jamaicans as black, and why do we refer to Kamala as black when she is only half Jamaican, assuming that means she is Black? Is this dissing those of Indian descent and could Indians say that Kamala is really the first Indian VP in history, or has that source of pride been stripped from them by the PC race police?
Of course, many may not even care, aside from IQ2 and Joe Biden who swore he would choose a "Black" woman for his VP, but since it is so important to the President of the United States, apparently it is equally as important to the voters who voted for him.
