C'mon Nimarata!

Should we start calling you Nimarata?

Nimarata Randhawa Haley, will you start using your actual name when you are seeking the highest office in the land?

The Iowa Caucus has passed and Donald J. Trump won and Haley came in third.

On Fox, Haley once again declared there is no racism in the United States.

Okay, why are you calling yourself Nikki?

Why can't you accept the fact that racism exists?

"We're not a racist country. We've never been a racist country." 😲

So says a woman of Indian heritage whose personal experience with racism prompted her to change her legal name from Nimrata Randhawa to Nikki Haley. Her pandering denialism is deplorable. pic.twitter.com/p8a7kz6YFA

Nikki Haley is becoming a tortured totem of an insidious need to deny the existence of racism in a nation that created a class system based on the color of one's skin. But acknowledging that color-coded system eats away at the illusion of American exceptionalism. https://t.co/EECB1DWDeH

She is afraid of people confusing her for being a foreigner. She is not. Her parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1960s. Her father taught biology at Voorhees University, a historically Black college.

Haley’s remarks were in response to MSNBC host Joy Reid’s comments on whether Haley could win the GOP nomination as a woman of color. Haley suggested Reid “lives in a different America than I do,” pointing to her own rise from the daughter of immigrants to governor of South Carolina and ambassador to the United Nations.

“I mean, yes, I’m a brown girl that grew up in a small rural town in South Carolina who became the first female minority governor in history, who became an UN ambassador and who is now running for president. If that’s not the American dream, I don’t know what is,” she said, a day after she came in third in the Iowa Republican caucuses. “You can sit there and give me all the reasons why you think I can’t do this. I will continue to defy everybody on why we can do this. And we will get it done.”

When asked by Fox host Brian Kilmeade if the GOP is a racist party, Haley made a broader point that the US has “never been a racist country.”

“We’re not a racist country, Brian. We’ve never been a racist country,” she said. “Our goal is to make sure that today is better than yesterday. Are we perfect? No. But our goal is to always make sure we try and be more perfect every day that we can.”
