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

So if you have no problem pronouncing or remembering those names, why do you have such a hard time pronouncing or remembering "Nimrata"?
Because you're racist.
She thinks there's a problem using Nimrata, and she thinks that because of precisely what you said: that Americans are too racist to pronounce or remember the name "Nimrata", without actually explaining how it's hard to pronounce or remember that name.
Kill yourself.
You're going to at some point anyway, so you might as well do it now.
I never said it is too difficult to pronounce. I was speculating on possible reasons to answer your question about why Haley chose to use her husband's name and the name on her birth certificate. You brought up that issue--nobody else. You automatically concluded it had something to do with racism to try to show your concern with prejudice to show how superior you are.

This guy is a total cunt, stop feeding the troll!!
Immigrant names do not generally raise eyebrows in liberal and urban congressional districts.
I do not think America is racist.
I do think this country has issues with xenophobia and nationalism. The Anglo-Saxon congressional caucus Republicans tried to establish is one example of that.
I think Piyush Jindal and Nimrata abandoned the given names their parents gave to them, and abandoned their family's religious faith to convert to Christianity for the simple and understandable reason of a child of Asian immigrants wanting to subdue their ethnic heritage and conform to expectations of the red neck bible thumping South. I do not think at the time they did it for political reasons.
But you and I know God damned well that a non-Christian Sikh woman named Nimrata would face almost insurmountable challenges getting elected to state wide office in the redneck, bible thumping, God fearing Palmetto State.
Yes you did:
Was that not you? Did someone hack your account? Or are you so fucking old and senile that you can't remember the racist shit you write day-to-day?
Right, and that speculation was racist.
You're the one who said her name wasn't easy for people to pronounce or remember.
But you never explained how or why it wasn't easy for people to pronounce or remember.
Every time you tried, you just implicated American racism into it further, which only proves my point.
It was racist, Flash. If you don't understand why it's racist to say Nimrata is a hard name to pronounce or remember, but Thibodeaux, Boudreaux, Hebert, Fontenot, and LeBlanc aren't, then you are saying the reason Nimrata is hard to pronounce is because it's a Brown name.
Awww, am I making you feel inferior, Flash, because I'm not overtly and habitually racist, while you are?
Go fucking cry to your therapist about it.
Yes, I know Chinese who tell me that is their "American name."
Italians names were often made fun of by other Caucasians. Kids make fun of other kids with different names. None of these things have anything to do with race.
MAGA MAN
Let's go Brandon!
I haven't read the whole thread, but I did read where one poster theorized that she would have been ridiculed in grade school. Is that what you are referring to?
But you are overtly and habitually a racist. You just can't accept it and find it necessary to attack others for what you dislike about yourself.
Whether liberal or not, voters are more likely to vote for candidates with names like themselves. When there is a large group of a certain ethnicity or nationality this becomes an important political advantage.
Machine politics in places like Chicago traditionally included candidates on the ballot to appeal to different immigrant groups--Italians, Irish, Greek.....
Today Hispanic candidates do much better with large Hispanic groups and various African nationalities attract voters.
Are all these people racist because they are voting for familiar names (or are only "Southern rednecks" racist when they do the same thing)?
How so?
You're the one who said Nimrata was too hard for English speakers to pronounce or remember, but didn't even explain why.
How am I a racist when you're the one who said "Nimrata" was a hard name for English speakers to pronounce and remember?
No, voters are more likely to vote for candidates whose positions and beliefs they support and agree with.
So again, you're making another argument for me as to why and how America is a racist country.
You missed the point. Cajun names like Thibodeaux, Boudreaux, Hebert, LeBlanc, Étienne, Loic, and Thibaud, are hard to pronounce for people who are not familiar with those names.
That does not make them racist except for a person obsessed with accusing everyone of racism. I guess some of your best friends are Cajun.
They are hard to pronounce? Not for me. Maybe for you because you're a bigot.
It sure does because you have no problem with those names, which aren't phonetic, but the name Nimrata, which is phonetic, is a problem for you.
None of those people changed their names. But you said Nimrata had to because her name was hard to pronounce.
And you've never said how or why "Nimrata" is a hard name to pronounce or remember...you're saying it is because it's not a White name, right? How is "Nimrata" harder to pronounce than "Nathalie" or "Keyleigh" or "Sioban"?
You make the naive and unfounded assumption that voters know the position and beliefs of candidates running for city council and school board when in reality they seldom even know who is running. In such cases name becomes an important factor.
Most Americans cannot name their U. S. Representative and Senators much less their positions on issues. Party is the most important factor, but in primaries we just have a list of names.
