I think they will just call her "the DEI candidate", which is a few layers isolated from the actual N-word, so they can have some plausible deniability for the moderates, while also signaling to the radicals.
They use it to claim people that are not white, cishet, able-bodied, male, etc. are hired for their "diversity quota", not their skills, while also appearing as reasonable to moderates. In my country (Hungary), similar backlashes were used to get minorities fired or not hired for some single minor mistake, and then hire a way worse non-minority. I was the victim of such thing, they asked my brother if I have "random violent meltdowns that end with destroyed equipment and bit co-workers", when my brother said no, they decided to make me write on a table (which I suck at), where I was "too slow", so they hired some more neurotypical guy, who had like almost zero programming knowledge, while I was described as "already having junior-level knowledge from open source projects".
She was brought on as a VP because of her minority status, rather than her experience. But then again apparently the Dems like people who are oppressors. Like what Kamala did to San Francisco citizens over marijuana cases.
The N word doesn't work on her. Kamala is Jamaican/Indian and has been criticized for being too hard on blacks by some.
Also, DEI has benefited the right in their past, when their ancestors arrived in America, but they are too ignorant to understand that.

Wat.
So.. how did I for instance benefit from DEI when my ancestors came here? Because they sure as fk weren't given any handouts upon arriving by ship onto U.S. soil. My grandfather came here with the money he made/saved.
It's very strange for me, because the last time I've heard someone called a coconut it was a racist term. Like Oreo. Someone who's brown skinned acting like they're white. It's very derogatory.
I have been catching up on Kamala memes. Here's the coconut context:
When the vice president referred to her mom’s question about falling out of a coconut tree, she was recounting a lesson about the importance of history. Speaking to government appointees who would work on economic and education equity for Hispanic Americans, she emphasized that their task would be to aid not only young people, but also their parents, grandparents, teachers, and communities, “because none of us just live in a silo. Everything is in context.”
And she continued:
“My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?’
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.”
Now, the takeaway is clear enough, something that’s been said for centuries: No person is an island.
But it was her delivery that turned it into a meme: in a joking voice, with exaggerated hand and arm gestures, and with a signature Kamala Harris laugh.
At the time, social media users and right-wing accounts accused her of behaving strangely: “Obviously drunk,” one viral tweet said, while others used clips of the speech to describe being intoxicated or inebriated (which itself is another Harris meme).
