Hence the emphasis on Harris being a woman, not just non white.
The reality is people like feeling superior to others, whether it be lighter skin looking down on others, or men looking down on women. And even those below not wanting their own to make gains (such as other women).
My immigrant non white grandmother told me she wouldn’t vote for Harris because she’s a woman. This is a woman who basically did what men told her to do her whole life, and I suspect she doesn’t like the idea that maybe she could or should have fought for more for herself (or her daughters).
