Last night, Nikki Haley had the call to say that “America is not a racist country.”
Nikki Haley: "In much of the Democratic Party, it's now fashionable to say that America is racist. That is a lie. America is not a racist country." https://t.co/HvBZab3VyL pic.twitter.com/J1igZ5hUQ0

Clearly she doesn’t know her place:

Wow, they sure got her!
JFC. How stupid are you? Did you do ANY GD reasearch whatsoever you second rate clowns? Go make a crappy meme or something.

Um, Americanizing one's name isn't exclusive to members of one political party. Nor is it racist.
Plus: it's common knowledge @NikkiHaley has been known as "Nikki" for, like, ever. https://t.co/NY9fOx3kLw

Is this an official Biden group?
If so, he needs to disavow this racist Tweet. https://t.co/ENnAUKE8jC

Will CNN disavow this racist tweet from CNN analyst Asha Rangappa?
Right. Is that why you went from going by Nimrata to "Nikki"? https://t.co/buGFcY48gQ

Good Lord.
Excellent point!!
— Jade Dragon (@verbella1) August 25, 2020
It’s actually not an excellent point at all.
What happened in your life to make you like this?

They are really going with this.
The left must really be out of ideas. pic.twitter.com/H3ucf9R9WO

Eh I often agree with you Asha but just about everyone I know in the Indian community, myself included, has regularly used nicknames. Her family calls her Nikki.

I hope you did better research when you worked for the FBI than you do when calling people out for the name they go by. Nikki Haley was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa & married someone w/ the last name Haley. Her family called her Nikki growing up. It means “Little One” in Punjabi. https://t.co/zLEZihFzEr pic.twitter.com/XgI9GC9DsC

The FBI employing Asha Rangappa certainly helps to explain why the FBI is such a hot mess.
There's nothing the left loves more than telling conservative minorities they're not "real" minorities. https://t.co/eWgTSEWkt2

This aside you'd think telling an Indian woman what name she's allowed to go by would be considered problematic, but I guess not when it's coming from the "good guys".
— BT (@back_ttys) August 25, 2020
Incredible that these people really think they can police people’s names and believe that they get to decide who is and isn’t an authentic [fill in the blank minority].

Setting out to prove Nikki Haley wrong about America not being a racist country by being a racist is a weird flex, but you go with that, liberals.
She's exposing bigotry and ideological hatred but not the way she thinks she is. https://t.co/Fffbad0CVh

Update:
Well, “South Asians for Biden” have apparently had a change of heart:
Upon further reflection, an earlier tweet drawing attention to the name of Ambassador Nikki Haley has been removed. South Asians for Biden regrets the tone of the message. We will continue to focus on the very real issues facing South Asian voters this election.

The same cannot be said for Rangappa:
Eh I often agree with you Asha but just about everyone I know in the Indian community, myself included, has regularly used nicknames. Her family calls her Nikki.
— Jenna Mathias (@jennarmathias) August 25, 2020
And they generally don’t go by those nicknames in their professional life. In my family “puttu” (little one) and “gundu” (chubby one) are nicknames, but no one would ask people outside of the family to call them that. Please.

Have you ever thought about not tweeting
— Dave Weigel (@daveweigel) August 25, 2020
No, I haven’t. Have you ever thought about not reading my tweets if you don’t like them? ? https://t.co/NvyKeaEGcV
— Asha Rangappa (@AshaRangappa_) August 25, 2020
Keep digging, Asha. If you’re lucky, you’ll tunnel your way to obscurity.
