What is her ethnicity?


Recently she said: ""I have always made the liberals' heads explode. They can't stand the fact that a minority, conservative, female would not be on the Democratic side."

I'm assuming "minority" means race. Is that what she's referring to?

She's not half-white. She's 100% Indian. Her full name is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. Her parents are Ajit Singh and Raj Kaur Randhawa. Her husband's surname is Haley.

A lot of Indian people from the northern regions of India look more European/Caucasian because of genetics. North Indians are the descendants of the Aryans who invaded/migrated and took over India about 3500 years ago around 1500 BCE. They brought their language (which became Sanskrit) and culture and traditions and possibly religion too (which became Hinduism). They hence have more lighter skin, some have pale eyes (green, grey etc.) and browner hair, larger physique. Then the children of these Indian immigrants in the US do look a lot more white skinned as a result.

By contrast, people of Southern India are more darker skinned, smaller physique, black eyes, dark black hair. They are the more original inhabitants of India (Southern) and descended directly from the nomadic Africans about 15,000 to 30,000 years ago or even more like 50,000 to 75,000 years ago.

The people of Eastern regions of India West Bengal and east look very Asian by comparison i.e. more Chinese looking because they share that DNA.

India is a very large country with very large number of people and due to the different conquerors and gene pool mixing.

Have you seen Persians (Iranians?) Many look very Caucasian. Some Afghans, Pakistanis etc.

reply

This is certainly true. I had a lab TA in college from Southern India why had such a dark complexion it was hard to tell where his beard ended and his face started. And I've known Punjabi Indians who have very light complexions.

reply

Even with the diverse ethnic & culture groups of India, people who look like Nikki Haley in India are very rare. The vast majority of northern Indians (including Punjabs which is supposedly her background) do not look like her. She looks closer to the 'Parsi' ethnic minority that Freddie Mercury came from.

Born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa

Did you just call her a Nimrod?

reply

You lower the collective IQ of MC even by posting your most thoughtful comments.

reply

I'm not the one coming on this site picking fights with conservatives because I hate them so much. In fact, I'm not the one picking fights with anyone.

reply

I don't hate Conservatives. I hate Conservatism because it is causing the governement to fail and the working and middle classes to suffer so that the powerful elites can add to their coffers, and they've figured out ways to manipulate people to willingly go along with it - kind of like they did in Rwanda - it's the same kind of rhetoric.

That's where I start to support political correctness, otherwise known as being polite or civil and fair to everyone, unless there is a reason not to be - to a specific person. Conservatives seem to have contempt for that. Conservatives seem to be about dehumanizing people do they do not have to address their grievances, which is what governments are all about - going back to when there were kings that held court.

That is evil and inhuman.

Conservatives seem to be about dehumanizing people do they do not have to address their grievances

You mean like burning down buildings in the name of black lives? Or telling people they were racist for not voting for Obama? Or telling them they are sexist because they didn't vote Hillary? Or telling people they're transphobic for not wanting to date someone trans? Or telling people they're a "basket of deplorables"? Or telling an entire race that they're racist for crimes their ancestors might have committed? Or how about telling people they're women haters because they feel abortion is killing a child?

I'm not sure how you can dislike one side so much when the other side that you're a part of is guilty of the exact same.

reply

Another hallmark of the rightwing: false equivalency.

reply

What part of this comment I wrote says I'm conservative?

Rioting blacks are outside of the political party system. I happen to understand why they are rioting. One reason is that no one pays any attention to them unless they are acting out, but that is not a Liberal thing, or a party thing - that is pure citizen frustration at a corrupt system of historic oppression. You just keep cut-and-pasting the same stupid argument to try to make Conservatives who tried to overthrow the government, with the blessing of half the GOP by falsely accusing Democrats.

> Or telling people they were racist for not voting for Obama? Or telling them they are sexist because they didn't vote Hillary?

Are you nuts?

> Or telling people they're transphobic for not wanting to date someone trans?

Who is it that has said that?

> Or telling people they're a "basket of deplorables"?

OK, got me there, when you make up so many lies and accuse the other side of nonsense to avoid taking responsiblity for the major crimes of your own side - you are F7 deplorable.

reply

But you often speak against people on this site who are conservatives. Wouldn't they be considered "citizen frustration"?

Are you nuts?

Back when Hillary and Trump were running, I still had Twitter. People thought I was a Trump supporter and would call me racist when I said I didn't vote for Hillary. The reason why I didn't vote for her is because I'm not American. However, I wouldn't have voted for Hillary or Trump because they were both incompetent.

Who is it that has said that?

All the people who say trans women are real women.

Unless his name is Kowalski or anyone else who is sick and tired of this stupid war on "woke."

reply

She's Bill Haley's granddaughter. She's a RocknRolla!

reply

who cares was she born in this country or not

reply

I don't. I was just questioning it because of what she said.

reply

She identifies as white unless she's calling out Democrats for disagreeing with her politics.

reply

She has never identified as white.
