    A good time to share my essay on @nikkihaley and how I, too, would be a Southern governor-turned-UN ambassador if I had a name like that. Stay for the part where I ask various Indian-Americans for their Southern Governor Name, and most have one. https://nyti.ms/1n09z29?smid=nytcore-ios-share …pic.twitter.com/NOStL2d3NU

        My family is from Kerala, where biblical names dominate. My name is Ann Marie. Early in my career at my current office, someone asked me "But what's your real name? Your Indian name? And why isn't your last name Singh or Patel?"

        I got called racist all day for denouncing Nikki Haley. Sigh.https://twitter.com/aditijuneja3/status/1049686368694267906?s=21 …

        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's actually not an uncommon name for Punjabis who stay in India.

        You did it again! Fortunately, Ghandi got to keep his name, despite the English.
