GRITtv: Samhita Mukhopadhyay: What Nikki Haley Represents

Two weeks ago Nikki Haley won 49% of the vote for the Republican gubernatorial primary in South Carolina. If she wins she will be joining Bobby Jindal as another Republican South Asian American leader in a Southern state. Does this mean Republicans are better at accepting South Asians?

I hate how they think only progressive political ideology is the only one that can represent minorities. The democratic party had Robert Byrd!!!! How do they square that away?!

[CharvakaJim]

This video has so many flaws, I don't know where to start. Democrat party's history of racism is much larger.

@ferrozm you don't square it away however you don't square trent lott or jesse helms on the republican side either

Pardon me if i heard wrong, but she thinks just because an SA chick got elected they represent the SA community?

@fjaoaoaoao well its a reply back to your words, if you dont take yourself seriously first of all, then how can you take anything seriously?

[fjaoaoaoao]

@mukaikof am i supposed to take this comment seriously. 

[Thedarksecret1]

@mukaikof You are a very odd person.

[mukaikof]

@fjaoaoaoao the girl in this video is not ignorant at all. she is pretty well spoken and educationally intellectual. i think she is pointing out good ideologies and comparing/contrasting actual facts that we us citizens are blind to see. many republicans are crooks and racists. they cover up alot of things that they do and most rednecks and skin heads in USA are republicans not democrats!

@Thedarksecret1 nikki haley looks like a cherokee american indian, because of her big face, high cheekbones and her masculine features. she could just be lying that shes indian from india just to get her ratings up! but either way i dont think shes all that pretty. looks like a counselor or teacher from my elementary school! i hope she wipes herself properly, i could only imagine how much her vagina gives off a bad odor, because she is in her 40's!

@fjaoaoaoao its not really ignorant, you have to understand, many things that are very true are covered up by republicans or the media, then when some people who know the real truth they are labeled as "ignorant","illiterate, conspiracy theorists,or just speculators." many powerful people cover up the truth, i wouldnt be surprised if Nikki haley slept with some republicans to get in her position, Republicans are racist! cant you see Republicans made the war in iraq,afghanistan, most hate indians
