If Nikki Haley thinks that the Republican Party is not racist, and would embrace her for who she really is, why doesn’t she use her actual birth name, Nimrata Randhawa?
When Barack Obama was growing up, his grandparents of European/Irish descent (O’bama?) tried to get him to go by the nickname Barry. While Barry is a fine name, Obama decided that he wanted to be known publicly for who he really was: the son of an African father (actual African, born and raised in Kenya) and a mother of European/Irish descent.
When he entered public life, he chose to be known for who he really is.
The Democratic Party, and the American people, accepted him for that person, and made him the editor of the prestigious Harvard Law Review (the first African American to hold that position), a best-selling author (before he entered politics) an Illinois state senator, a U.S. Senator and two-term president — the first Democrat to be elected to two terms by outright majorities (not mere pluralities) since FDR did it four times.
Apparently, Nimrata does not have the same confidence that her party would feel the same way
