Kamala was raised within Academia, daughter of two legitimate (by what I can see) scholars. Her first "black" experience was via her [caregiver/nanny?] in West Berkeley. Her time in Illinois is not well documented (~1966-1970).
Back at Berkeley (sans father), from kindergarten (to fifth grade?) she was bused to a predominantly white school in Thousand Oaks.
She spent her teens in Quebec at private schools, transferring to Howard University (a historically black college in DC).
