Daughter of Sikh immigrant parents from Punjab, Indian-American Namrata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley proudly recollected her Indian heritage while being sworn in as the first woman and non-white Governor of South Carolina.

Indian=Caucasian=white.
Correct
Look how quickly they seized the tragedy in Tucson as a propaganda tool.
These people have no interest in truth.
They are everything that they claim to hate.
pfl
Who gives a crap what they call it?
And all the people said......Amen!
well said
You are correct sir!
Conservative=success=being labeled
The Indian subcontinent is huge and racially diverse. The Punjab would, however, be disproportionately Caucasian.
I thought American Indians were asians who crossed over an ice shelf to get here?
“Indian=Caucasian=white.”
My wife is one of them. Last name “Amritt” derived from the location in India that most of the turban tops come from. In the winter she looks italian. In the summer she looks like a “sister”
I am from the deep south. We get along very well.
She is listed and accepted as a minority on our business’s credit applications... LOVE it!
Our kids, boy and girl have the greatest complexions one can imagine. Boy has brown eyes, girl has green eyes like me.
I said it myself.
Let's just hope and pray that all the people wake up in time to save our nation and our children from the greatest threat they have ever faced: Decadence.
The Left is Decadence.
Nothing has ever threatened us as much as the internal moral and spiritual decay and rot that are the contemporary Left, and the most fundamental evil of this Decadence is mendacity: contempt for truth.

Because Democrats lie about the exceptionalism of America.
She’s always been diverse and exceptional. Mostly legally...
Actually 95% of India is Caucasian (70% Aryan and 25% Dravidian) and the rest are mostly Mongoloid or mix of Caucasian and Mongoloid
your kids are lucky, it’ll be like they have a permanent, very light tan
Caucasian can be called the most colorful race, since it includes complexions from palest alabaster to darkest brown. :)
There’s no longer such agreement on India. These wiki paragraphs summarize the mix of perspectives:
“Genetics
Main article: Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia
The genetic views on race differ in their classification of Dravidians. According to population geneticist L.L. Cavalli-Sforza of Stanford, based on work done in the 1980s, Indians are genetically Caucasian, but Lewontin rejects the label Caucasian. Cavalli-Sforza found that Indians are about three times closer to West Europeans than to East Asians.[9] Dr. Eduardas Valaitis, in 2006, found that India is genetically closest to East and Southeast Asians with about 15% more genetic similarity than to Europeans; he also found that India could be considered very distinct from other regions.[10] Genetic anthropologist Stanley Marion Garn considered in the 1960s that the entirety of the Indian Subcontinent to be a “race” genetically distinct from other populations.[9][11] Others, such as Lynn B. Jorde and Stephen P. Wooding, claim South Indians are genetic intermediaries between Europeans and East Asians.[12][13][14]
A number of earlier anthropologists held the view that the Dravidian peoples together were a distinct race[citation needed]. Comprehensive genetic studies have proven that this is not the case. The genetic studies also indicated that the origin of both Dravidian and Indo-Aryan speakers is the Indian subcontinent.[15][16][17] (The situation is similar to Western Europe, where the Basques are racially similar to the surrounding Romance language speakers.) Recent studies of the distribution of alleles on the Y chromosome,[15] microsatellite DNA,[16] and mitochondrial DNA [17] in India have cast overwhelmingly strong doubt for a biologically identifiable “Dravidian race” distinct from non-Dravidians in the Indian subcontinent.
In a 2009 study of 132 individuals, 560,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 25 different Indian groups were analyzed, providing strong evidence in support of the notion that modern Indians are a hybrid population descending from two pre-historic, genetically divergent populations[citation needed], one of which, referred to as the ‘Ancestral North Indians’, 40,000 years ago and the other, called the ‘Ancestral South Indians’, 60,000 years ago. The intermingling of ANI’s and ASI’s happened in the same period as the ANI’s first appeared, 40,000 years ago.[18] The study also holds, that the caste system grew out of tribal-like organizations of the Indian society. In another study of 2009 conducted among 10 Asian countries, Dravidian peoples showed similarities with north Indians as well as peoples of Malaysia, Singapore and China.[19]”
