kdsingh80 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Democrats have accused North Carolina's Indian-American Governor Nikki Haley of listing her race as "white" in her voter registration form in 2001 and playing on it for political convenience. Haley created history this year when she was sworn in as the first woman governor of North Carolina. She is also the first governor of Sikh heritage. Haley, 39, is also the first Indian-American woman governor and only the second from the community to occupy this post. The local Post and Courier reported that the state Democratic Party, which first obtained the public record in this regard, is challenging whether her inconsistency on the card might have made her ineligible to vote under the state's new voter ID law. State Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian said whether Haley listed her race as white or not doesn't really matter to him, but the issue is that the governor has shown a pattern of such actions. "Haley has been appearing on television interviews where she calls herself a minority -- when it suits her," Harpootlian was quoted as saying. "When she registers to vote she says she is white. She has developed a pattern of saying whatever is beneficial to her at the moment," he said. "She can't even tell the truth about her racial heritage." There was no immediate response from Haley's office. The state Election Commission gives people the choice of declaring their race as white, black/African-American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American or other, the agency's spokesman Chris Whitmire said. The commission doesn't attempt to verify a person's race, but that data is used by the Justice Department to enforce fair voting practices. Collecting the information is a requirement of state law, Whitmire told the daily. If a person checks "other", he or she is asked to specify. Whitmire said he knows of no state election law, nor a definition by the state Election Commission, for the term "white." The Post and Courier said that by making such allegations, the South Carolina Democratic Party tried to make Haley out as a liar for checking "white" as her race on her 2001 Lexington County voter registration application. But the application had no specific option for "Indian." Her options were "white, black/African-American, Asian, Hispanic, Native American or other." Haley's voter registration card, first obtained by the Democratic Party, is a matter of public record. The 2001 card was the only one on file in the Lexington County voter registration office, according to the party. The voter registration office in her home county of Bamberg did not have an application on file for her, the daily said. "It is not clear if Haley had declared her race differently on any earlier voter registration applications," it said. Haley's parents emigrated from India and she was born in Bamberg County in South Carolina, a county split between whites and blacks. http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-nikki-haley-calls-herself-white-kicks-up-a-row/20110729.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithar Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 She hardly has anything Indian about her, so she might as well call herself white. She is the very definition of the term coconut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich and upper middle class Indians have dreams of being white but the fact is they are browns and this is not going to change .My cousin openly told us that she is born in wrong country,wrong family ,it would have been much if she is born in USA or Europe as white 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have also encountered such coconuts. Strangely 'coconutism' seems to effect Indian females the most. But ...there must be some underlying cause of this. I see it as a form of seeing oneself as less than others - whoever you compare yourself to. Just cant seem to find the word for it! What belief systems do we have in our culture that causes coconutism? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSD1 Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Is it just a case of 'Grass is Greener'? Plenty of asian girls at uni and college think they live the high life by being coconuts when they're just being used for sex. Though the girls dont seem to mind, dumb bints that they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What belief systems do we have in our culture that causes coconutism? The answer is very simple ,western culture gives you freedom especially to females.Western culture aloing with feminism tells you do whatever you want don't care about family parents anything on the other hand Indian culture puts lots of restrictions ,so it is obvious for them to get attracted to that culture 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 KDS youve raised an interesting point there. If these coconuts and bananas and any other fruit-cases want to be like the goras they must first grow up - quite literally. Anyone else notice how we indians/asians are almost half the height of Europeans? Especially northern and eastern europeans. They are like huuuuge giants when stood next to apne lok. That also includes the amazonian women too. I think there was a survey a few years ago, and the Danish came out as the tallest people in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch are tallest people in world with average male height of 6 feet 1 inches tall , the surprising factor is their average height in 1830 was 5 feet 5 inches tall in 1830 Anyway with money height of generation also start increasing .Chinese Japanese, South koreans all have increased their height while People of Vietnam ,North korea are still very much short 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
