If she believes America is not a racist country. Why did she change her name?
From Nimrata Randhawa to Nikki Haley..
umm, because she married a guy with the last name Haley
what do I win?
She radically changed her first name.
As to last names, to each their own -- but my female cousins kept their Slavic ethnic sounding family name even after marriage, in addition to keeping ethnic sounding first name....and proudly so
you are a lying shit stain
she made no legal change to her first name - that is still her name
As many of us, she goes by a nickname - one she was called by her parents as a small child.
Not talking about any legal change.
Talking about what she does as an adult with free choice. She presents herself publically and prominently with a thoroughly Americanized name, rather than her actual Hindi name
Barack did not do that

Nikki is the name her parents use for her - that is the name she uses.
stop being a bigot - Nikki is a fine name
Why change to a thoroughly Americanized name bearing no resemblance to Hindi heritage? It sounds to me like they thought Hindi names would have a downside socially.
I get it. Immigrants may face harassment and social ridicule. Especially those who do not comport with a conventional European background
again, it wasn't changed. Nikki is the name she was called as a kid. That is her identity.
I find it hilarious how you bigots are making a big deal of something so trivial
There’s a long list of successful models who have changed their names, like Coco Rocha (Mikhaila Rocha), Erin Heatherton (Erin Heather Bubley), Natasha Poly (Natalya Sergeyevna Polevshchikova), Elle MacPherson (Eleanor Nancy Gow), Irina Shayk (Irina Shaykhlislamova), Stam (Jessica Stam) and perhaps the biggest mouthful of them all, Gabriella Wilde (Gabriella Zanna Vanessa Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe).

I know hundreds of Russian immigrants, and I cannot think of one Sergei who goes by "Sam", not one Svetlana who goes by "Sherry", not one Borya who goes by "Bob".
In my opinion, it's a matter of self respect and pride to honor your heritage and family if it means something to you. Especially if you are presenting yourself as a politician with a proud and compelling immigrant story.
Barack Obama used his real ethnic name as an adult.

You are the one that suggested her name changes had nothing to do with bigotry or prejudice in America.this really matters to you
I would suggest you dig into why. She didn't pick the name Nikki - but I support her using it

I think changing her Hindi name to an exceedingly average Americanized name had everything to do with it. Originating from a natural concern that a little girl would be singled out, mocked and shamed for having a weird ethnic sounding name.
As an adult she had the courage and the choice to honor her family and hertitage by using her actual name, but she obviously turned her back on it.
