"She says she's proud of her heritage and of the accomplishments of Indian-Americans - their educational attainment, their income levels, their philanthropy. But that's about as far as she'll go".
"The fact that I happen to be an Indian female, of course that brings a new dynamic. But what I hope it does is cause a conversation in this state where we no longer live by labels, but we live by philosophies."
I had the opportunity to hear Bobby Jindal speak (not the response for Obama's acceptance speech), and he came across as an articulate and interesting speaker - Nikki Haley apparently is a better speaker than Sarah Palin - so do we really care if her real name was Namrata, or should we focus on the fact that Indian Americans should be proud that one of us is reaching new heights?
