Sure she does...choosing to go by Nikki instead of Nimrata.
If America is not a racist country, then why does Nimrata Randhawa go by Nikki Haley?

Sure she does...choosing to go by Nikki instead of Nimrata.
Making a nationwide generalization out of a single person's name choice is par for the usual dumb course at this place.
She converted to Christianity maybe she didn't want to be called Nimrod.
^ Maybe that is why she does not use her first name - she is not keen on xenophobic rightwing rednecks disparaging, mocking, and denigrating her ethic name.
Nimrata is a perfectly good name for anyone who is proud of their Hindi heritage.
THEN HOW DID A BLACK MAN GET ELECTED POTUS...TWICE???
LET US KNOW WHEN "WOKE" FRANCE DOES THE SAME, WILLYA?
WE SEE WHO THE XENOPHOBE RACISTS ARE, QUITE CLEARLY...THE WORLD SEES NOW...
SHE IS NOT HINDI, SHE IS SIKH...RACIST...THEY'RE "ALL THE SAME TO YOU", RIGHT.
He followed a Repub who totally fucked up. Reds are bad for the economy and like wars. The people moved away from that.
It is your rightwing boyfriend mocking and disparaging Nimrata's first name...not me or any lefty here.
That might be why she doesn't use her first name: Cruel xenophobic rightwing rednecks.

Truthmatters
Yeah they keep crashing the economy
And then stooped to lying us into a war
Not to mention their attempts to sell us to foreign nations
Desiring to assimilate doesn't automatically mean that desire is forced due to racism. In some cases it may, but as I showed with the Western European examples, they also changed names, and it would be hard to prove that was due to racism
Yes, indeed.

In AMERICAN culture, Nikki = cute. No one is stigmatized by being called Nikki.
Nimrata = Weird. Foreign.
Nimrata lends itself to being associated with the only English word that it is similar to.
Nimrod.
Only a foreign nimrod would saddle a girl in America with a name that sounds anything like nimrod.
You sound like the idiot at General Motors who decided to try selling a popular US Chevrolet car model in South America with a name that was fine here in the USA but was the height of cultural ignorance in Latin America.
The car was called the Chevy Nova.
In Spanish, "no va" means, 'won't go.'
In America Nikki is cute.
Nimrata is the equivalent of this:
And "Bobby" Piyush Jindal? He even had his official portrait "whitened up."

THE SECOND TIME??? DUH-OH!!
THE 2008 ECONOMELT WAS DUE ENTIRELY TO DEMOCRAT POLICIES AND CLINTON EXECUTIVE ORDERS.
Plus "Nikki" and "Bobby" sound much lighter to Southerners than "Nimrata" and "Piyush."
Her choice was informed by....what?
