Comment on AP Headlines Called Harris Indian American in 2016, Black in 2020?

Why is this an issue? I don’t get it.
In 2016 she was the first Indian American senator (but not the first Black senator) so that context makes sense.
In 2020 she was the first Black, first Indian American, and first woman vice President. So that headline makes perfect sense too.
Why would anyone get upset over these headline differences? They weren’t even published by Democrats and there were probably dozens of similar headlines from other news organizations at the time.

And Elon Musk is an African American.

No one’s saying he isn’t?
Now if he started calling himself black that’d be an entirely different story.
