When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Walz is the DEI hire. (lemmy.world)

If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

Exactly! It’s not hard to pronounce, it’s just not intuitive. I used to say “Kuh-MAH-luh” too. One correction and I stopped. “Kah-mah-la” is easy for native English speakers. They are perfectly capable of saying it they just don’t want to.

The one thing I find difficult about it is that I've heard it mispronounced so many times, I have to consciously think about which version is correct. I blame right-wing assholes for that.
