If you’ve never heard of blue-checked “Lawyer. Writer. Organizer.” Aditi Juneja, we regret to inform you that you’ve been missing out on thoughtful takes like this:
Nikki Haley epitomizes the idea that “skin folk are not kin folk” for me.
She does not represent WOC. She does not represent South Asians.
She does not represent me.She embarrasses me as one of the few prominent South Asian women in politics.

Nikki Haley served as governor and then as U.N. Ambassador with honor and integrity. But she’s a Republican and a conservative, so none of that matters.

So she’s been a racist for a while, then.
People seem to think that if you care about representation, you care about it at the expense of everything else. That is not true.
If someone perpetuates patriarchy and white supremacy and is a WOC, they don’t help justice and equity. They don’t bring a perspective to the table

She’s entitled to her views, but the challenge with having so few people who look like you in the public eye is that people assume they represent everyone who looks like them.

“She’s entitled to her views.” Wow. How magnanimous of you, Aditi.
Fascinating.

“Anti-racism” is actually pretty damn racist.

No single person can possibly represent "women of color" or "South Asians", who obviously don't all think alike. The suggestion they do, or should, is racist.

Tell me more about how having different opinions means a WoC isnt really a WoC. pic.twitter.com/H8h2X4oxGq

Curious as to who made you the spokeswoman for all "WOC" and "South Asians." https://t.co/KImCObcMZV

Unlike U.N. Ambassador, that was a self-appointed position.
Same. I have disowned her as a fellow Punjabi.

She can’t come to my langar

What a shame.
If Nikki Haley had any idea who you were, I'm sure the feeling would be mutual. https://t.co/Y1Vy0ZTHcn
