Kamala is definitely black by American standards because having one black parent is enough to classify you as black. I believe that classification is due to how slavery and Jim Crow was defined.
However in many African countries, Kamala wouldn’t be black but would rather be classified as “colored”, which is a category for mixed race people used in parts of Africa.
Using African countries' sociology and racial dynamics makes no sense when talking about an American citizen.
By American, and African-American standards, Kamala is black having one black parent. That's it.

Like it or not race is real and plays a role in our society. Acting like we can’t talk about it is anti intellectual. If people are propagating misinformation about her race I’ll just point out they’re wrong instead of whining about how bad it is to talk about her race. You do realize Kamala herself talks about her race right? It’s not a taboo subject

It shouldn't, normally...
But when you use race to try to get ahead etc is when it's a problem. It was only recently that she tried saying she's black but in the past she was Indian.
