Did a SC newspaper get busted ethnically stereotyping Nikki Haley?

South Carolina’s “The State” newspaper posted a quiz for readers to see how much they know about Governor Nikki Haley. It looks like they made some adjustments to the multiple choice options. According to this screen shot, one of the questions seemed to be using an ethnic stereotype among the options.

Governor Haley is of Indian descent. When we visited the quiz site, question Number 5 appears to have been edited.

The first and second options appear to have been changed so that the question is a bit less Joe Biden-esque.

At least they didn’t originally use “Dunkin Donuts” in place of “hotel.”
