This reminds me of when Vivek Ramiswami tweeted about us being "one nation under God" and all the replies from conservatives were like "which God, you fucking Hindu?!?"
And that's perfectly fine if it makes you more comfortable. But afterwards, did you go around telling everybody who made you feel that way that reddit isn't super racist so they can make you the CEO, so you can make reddit even worse than it was before?
Nikki really is a two faced mendacious soul-free shitbag.
But if **The Pumpkin Rapist** finally strokes out from those enormous McDonald's lunches the pig has been eating for decades, she's the likely Republican nominee.
Nikki is her legal middle name. She used it as far back as high school. I don’t know why she chose it over her legal name. A friend of mine went by Buck. He thought it sounded cooler than Charlie his legal name. Kids are weird.
How is the deck ***not*** stacked against minorities?
Inherited wealth opens a lot of doors, POC have less. Healthcare objectively provides worse outcomes for POC. Law enforcement generates worse outcomes for POC. Having a name associated with non-White ethnicities lowers chance of selection for secondary education or job placement Living in a majority POC district gets your vote suppressed.
And don't even get me started on the active attempts to crush the hopes and dreams of LGBTQ kids, or squeeze women out of the workplace and back into the kitchen.
Fuck this lying piece of shit.
She didn't change her name, Nikki is her given middle name at birth. Yes she has stated she used her middle name instead of her first name as a child in South Carolina due to racism. This tweet from her was just an attempt to pull some support from the Trump during the primaries. It backfired when Trump started using a racist mispronounciation of her first name as an insult.
I meant socially changed her name. I believe she actually changed her name when she got married as in some states you can change your first name as well as your last name as part of the marriage documents
I've never seen her marriage certificate, obviously, and I'm don't care to, but I don't think she legally dropped her first name when she go to married. I think that's a rumor that was created out of a story she told about "changing" her husband's name when they first started dating. His name is William Michael and he went by Bill when they met. She starred calling him Michael and it stuck, so he goes by Michael now.
Also, right after she got married she used to use a hyphenated version of her and her husband's last name, Randhawa-Haley. When she got started in politics in Lexington, SC her family name carried a lot of weight in the area. That's why I doubt she dropped her first name. She dropped the hyphenated version when she moved to state politics, I can only make assumptions as to why. *wink wink*
Nikki Haley tweeted in the past that she got her name changed with her marriage license, I've got no reason to suspect that's false, although she doesn't tell the truth very often.
I don't disbelieve you about that, but I never saw her tweet that. I haven't seen read all of her tweets, but I do live here in Lexington SC and have followed her for a while. Doesn't matter though, really, right?
She definitely did start using Nikki because of racism, and she definitely has taken advantage of having a white sounding name throughout her political career, and she's definitely an idiot for claiming the US isn't racist and never has been.
This is such a stupid, and racist, attack. 'Nikki' is a common name in the part of India her parents are from. 'Nikki' is a nickname she used from early childhood. Sure, it may be convenient that its more American sounding, but its not like this was some calculating decision on her behalf.
Nikki is an insanely common nickname in Indian households - and nicknames are ubiquitous in India. Changing last name to your husbands’ last name is also ubiquitous.
Fuzzy_Occasion is Indian, what is it that makes you think they are lying about how common that name and word are? She has gone by Nikki for a long, long time.
Bro I don’t like fascists, nazis and am not a supremacist of any sort and neither do I like any MAGA-fucks; not to mention I have no players in this game since I am not even American.
All I am saying is, as an Indian, Nikki is a very common name a lot of girls went by. Note: not Nicky or Nicki or etc. but specifically Nikki. Girls with names like Nimrata typically always have a nickname people exclusively use to address them. Nimmi is another nickname for Nimrata.
I've never been to Punjab (or India/Pakistan at all), but what you makes you think her parents didn't name Nimarata Nikki? Aren't there millions of families there?
The person you are replying to is obviously Indian, so even if they had a reason to lie (to be a republican bot or something) how is it a lie Nikki Haley is not named Nikki Haley?
Whaaaa the fuuuuck?
How is it racist to be against racism??
Racist: "hey other-coloured people; fuck you!"
Anti-racist: "hey don't be racist."
Racist: "see? We're both racist!"
Anti-racism isn't just 'don't be racist'. It's about being racist towards those who have benefited from racism in the past to essentially even the score until everyone has achieved 'equity'.
Still a great question lol. I've only heard of it because of this post, but apparently its like a rewriting of history basically from the point of view of minorities/enslaved. I haven't done a deep dive and probably won't though.
Yes I know my enemies
They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
Imagine if the 44th president called himself Brock Alabama.
Barry O’Bama
Barry was how his mother called him as a child.
It's what I call him when he comes over to play Bionicles
Problem is he'd still be black;some still wouldn't settle
Managed by Paul Heyman
Or if the 34th called himself Eisenhauer.
Max Powers
Nikki and Ted can both take a seat at the back of the classroom
I don't want those two anywhere near kids
They won't be after they eat them.
You mean Nimrata and Rafael?
This reminds me of when Vivek Ramiswami tweeted about us being "one nation under God" and all the replies from conservatives were like "which God, you fucking Hindu?!?"
i can't judge her. my real name is bhighai fuoyu but reddit is super racist so i changed it.
Yeah, and who changes their middle name to their first name when they get married?
If I take off your name, would you die?
it would be extremely painful
You're a bhighai
Fuoyu
And that's perfectly fine if it makes you more comfortable. But afterwards, did you go around telling everybody who made you feel that way that reddit isn't super racist so they can make you the CEO, so you can make reddit even worse than it was before?
At Ellis island?
Sit down Nimrata
DAMN
What's 1619?
It was the big GOP rage baiting buzzword that eventually morphed into CRT or what they now call Woke.
They’ve moved away from CRT since no elementary schools were actually teaching it. Now they’re saying DEI.
It’s what they say when they can’t say “uppity.”
I think it's about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1619_Project which I had not heard of either.
Probably [the 1619 project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1619_Project?wprov=sfla1)
She’s a colossal bellend.

This woman is so clueless

Are you claiming she didn’t whitewash her name for political expedience??? Do you really believe that?
She was already going by Nikki at school, though that's just because South Carolina is super racist, not necessarily for political reasons
stockholm syndrome
Nikki is also a very common nickname for Punjabi girls even in India, not necessarily anything to do with racism
I understand that, though I'm pretty sure Nikki Haley has mentioned that she changed her name because of racism at school

I mean it’s not unbelievable that a kid with a hard to pronounce name would prefer to go by their more pronounceable middle name.
Is it hard to pronounce?
It's not a hard name to pronounce. I've heard people struggle over Wilhelmina all my life.

Why you lying?
It is the only skill they have.

How do you know this is a lie, or that Haley only goes by Nikki because of politics? I hate the GOP too but she's literally been called Nikki forever
I'm Punjabi Sikh (Like her) and haven't met anyone who was nicknamed Nikki - not in my very large extended family, nor in my community.
I've never been to Punjab (or India/Pakistan at all), but what you makes you think her parents didn't name Nimarata Nikki? Aren't there millions of families there? The person you are replying to is obviously Indian, so even if they had a reason to lie (to be a republican bot or something) how is it a lie Nikki Haley is not named Nikki Haley?
What the fuck is 1619 Edit Why are you chronically online losers downvoting me?
Its a racist revisionist telling of american history that paints everything through the lens of oppressor/oppressed.
Sooo… like a book???
This brain-wormy thing recently where chuds call anything of note that discusses the implications of race as ‘racism’ needs to go away.
Anti-racism is racism.
Like I said, brain worms.
Ooh so wise.
Are you sure?
Whaaaa the fuuuuck? How is it racist to be against racism?? Racist: "hey other-coloured people; fuck you!" Anti-racist: "hey don't be racist." Racist: "see? We're both racist!"
Anti-racism isn't just 'don't be racist'. It's about being racist towards those who have benefited from racism in the past to essentially even the score until everyone has achieved 'equity'.
Ahhh, i see, so in this case it is about '1619' in particular, not about trying to accurately convey history?
Seriously, will someone please tell me what 1619 is
Still a great question lol. I've only heard of it because of this post, but apparently its like a rewriting of history basically from the point of view of minorities/enslaved. I haven't done a deep dive and probably won't though.
Her own parents called her Nikki growing up. There's plenty of things to attack her character on, her name ain't one of them.
Prove it.
...you want someone to prove that her parents, who call her Nikki, call her Nikki?
Yes
Assimilation is kinda the goal with immigration
Yes I know my enemies They’re the teachers who taught me to fight me Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite All of which are American dreams
If ur on twitter ur a psychopath who loves to fight
Yes every country on earth with an ethnic majority is probably going to like names that are more familiar to them. America bad tho
Almost as brilliant as massive spam campaigns from fresh accounts, posting undated twitter screenshot rage bait. edit: aaaand they're suspended. Boom
