Honestly, it kinda is. She’s anglicized herself profusely to appeal to bigots. Denied that America is a country with issues with racism while at the same time claiming that she faced racial discrimination when younger. Giving everyone whiplash as she displayed either the depth of her dishonesty or ability to handle cognitive dissonance.
I would vote for an honest, intelligent nimrata any day over A soulless moral less fashy Nikki.
She’s anglicized herself profusely to appeal to bigots
Not to defend her, but she has gone by her middle name, Nikki, since she was born. It’s is a Punjabi name meaning “little one”. She later took her husband’s last name when they married, which is a pretty normal thing for people to do.
To be fair, she could simply be arguing that racism, while a major issue she faced in her youth, is now a largely solved issue in modern America.
Not that I agree. Just pointing out that it isn’t an inherently dishonest position. Things change over time, and things are in fact better than when she was young.
Not solved by any stretch for sure. America still struggles with bigotry in all forms. But it wasn’t that long ago that Barak Obama was actively arguing against gay marriage on national TV. We’ve come a long way for sure.
Some of us have. Others, like Haley enabled and encourage those that haven’t. So while I agree it’s possible for people in good faith to make that optimistically incorrect assertion. Haley can’t.
And you aren’t wrong about Obama. Ironically it was Biden of all people if I remember correctly. That pushed the issue passed the tipping point. With one of his patented gaffes. But that’s why good people can justify supporting Democrats generally. Despite largely being as hurt to themselves and everyone else. They often are decent people deep down no matter how misguided they are. Eventually willing to change their views after enough pushback with facts and evidence. Haley and those like herself, however, are shown that they are just soulless selfish, sycophants in search of power.
