Green’s comments come after former President, Donald Trump questioned Harris’ background at the National Association of Black Journalists last week. Harris, who was born in Oakland, California, to immigrant parents, has faced scrutiny over her ethnicity despite being the first Asian-American, black, and female vice president in US history.
By speaking out in support of Harris, Green joins head coach Steve Kerr in using their platform to promote diversity and inclusion in politics. His comments highlight the importance of accepting and celebrating candidates’ diverse backgrounds, rather than using them as a basis for criticism.
