You know, based on the one drop rule, which was made by white supremacists, she is both Black and Indian. I love this situation because this is like a racist dog whistle. If you're multiracial you can be both of your parents race, usually it's the one more convenient for the racists to discriminate against you.
If people are racist to her even though she is light skinned, I would obviously condemn that to the same degree as if they were racist to her and she was dark skinned. Racism is abominable, no matter the skin color of the recipient. Racism doesn't change the skin color of the recipient, however.
Kamala Harris is factually Black, and she is factually South-East Asian. Your perception of her skin tone means nothing.
Colorism is a pretty old form of racism - typically perpetrated inter-culturally / within the same ethnicity, or more recently by white supremacists to categorize minorities or other white ethnicities - which tries to define someone as definitively outside of a ethnic group they factually belong to.
