If America is not a racist country, then why does Nimrata Randhawa go by Nikki Haley?

[AProudLefty]

Gee isn't it remarkable how close "Rick" is to "Dick"?

Or "Delores" is to "Clitoris"?

Or "Enis" to...well, you know...

Maybe the city of Regina needs to change its name too?

Saying "Nimrata" is an unfortunate name, is also unfortunately racist.

How about "Mulva"?

So....this doesn't actually say when she started going by Nikki...just that she started going by Nikki at a young age.

So why did she go by Nikki at a young age?

So that in 15 years she could get a job more easily?
PS: That's the name she and her family chose.....

How about "Mulva"?

Bovary?

Gipple?

Celeste?

Well, wouldn't that confirm the thesis of the thread?

PS: That's the name she and her family chose.....

No, the name her family chose was Nimrata Nikki Randhawa.

She chose to go by "Nikki" at a young age, ostensibly because "Nimrata" was too foreign-sounding for racist America.

Right...her family chose Nikki for her middle name...and then chose to call her that....
Nothing racist about it....

And also, you don't seem very buttoned up on the history of her name...are you winging it (aka bullshitting me), as is your typical style?

They call her Nikki....

"America isn't a racist country, so now let me explain how a Sikh name cannot be used in America..."

Let's suppose the ultimate - that she changed her name because she believes ours is a racist nation, is that it, the final word in the argument, proof that the U.S. is in fact a racist nation? I doubt you could write a
coherent description of what constitutes a "racist nation", let alone a coherent argument that it s.

They call her Nikki....

Why not Nimrata? It is her first name, after all.

Why not Nimrata? It is her first name, after all.

Because she and her family chose to go with Nikki...her middle name, as many children and families do....

Why did Joaquin Phoenix change his name?

Yes.

America is so racist it forced an Indian-American woman to use a more Anglo-sounding Sikh name because racist Americans would mock her other Sikh name, as you and others did on this very thread by tying "Nimrata" to "Nimrod" but suspiciously overlooking "Nikki" with "Icky", "Sticky", "Picky", "hickey".

I doubt you could write a coherent description of what constitutes a "racist nation", let alone a coherent argument that it s.

You all made the argument for me when you said "Nimrata" is too close to "Nimrod", an insult no child has ever used, but not when "Icky" or "sticky" or "hickey" is there to use in place of "Nikki".

You're asking the passive-aggressive racist? Good luck with that!

I don't think her wanting to use her different name has to do with racism. If those retarded GOPers make fun of her name, then they can go shove each other up their asses with broken off mops.

Why didn't they just name her Nikki Randhawa, then?

 

[LV426]

I don't think her wanting to use her different name has to do with racism.

How can you say that after reading several posts from Conservatives on this thread that tied "Nimrata" to "Nimrod", an insult no child has ever used?

f those retarded GOPers make fun of her name, then they can go shove each other up their asses with broken off mops.

Those GOPers are Americans, aren't they?

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Let's be honest: to educated and sophisticated people, Nirmata is a hell of a lot cooler and exotic than Nancy, Nikky, or Susie.

But this thread demonstrates that rightwing redneck xenophobes are perfectly willing to denigrate and mock a foreign sounding name.

Which is why I do not begrudge Piyush and Nimrata for abandoning the first names their parents gave to them.

I think the name "Nimrata" is really cool. Not sure about the other name because I have no clue about how to pronounce it.

I admit I haven't been reading through your thread. I just check from time to time.

Yes and that is very unfortunate.

I do too.

She could also go by "Rata" or "Nim".

This whole "nimrod" thing really just exposes how racist Conservatives are, and how racist America is that she had to do that in order to be accepted.

OK, so then America is a racist country.

So my thesis is correct.
