SC Gov. Nikki Haley, Born Nimrata Randhawa, Lists Herself as White on Voter Registration Document 10 Years Ago

SC Gov. Nikki Haley identified herself as white on March 2001 voter registration document, is she like Peola in "Imitation of Life" forsaking her true heritage?

Ever wondered why South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley or Nimrata Randhawa, doesn't give a hoot about the Confederate flag flying near her office at the statehouse? Er, she considers herself white, not the person of color she really is. She's a "wannabe white" Indian-American ashamed of her heritage, it would seem. Well, South Carolina Democrats seized on a 10 year old voter registration document where she lists her race as "W" for white, according to the Seattle Times. It should be noted that she is married to a white man and there is no trace of her Indian heritage in her name. Actually, she uses her Indian-American heritage conveniently -- as the nation's second Indian-American governor.

A little background on Nimrata Randhawa, er Nikki Haley -- her parents migrated from India and she was born in Bamberg County, SC, which has a high concentration of blacks and whites. Do I detect a strain of Peola in "Imitation of Life," who forsook the her true heritage just to get over?
