Meet the New Governor of South Carolina

Her name is Nikki Haley -- or, more specifically, Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley.  The daughter of immigrants from India, she became a businesswoman and then the first Indian-American to hold public office in South Carolina, and she is now the new Republican governor of the Palmetto State.  Congratulations!   She joins Bobby Jindal of Louisiana in being Republican governors of Indian descent.  As an Asian immigrant's daughter myself, I can't help but love this. The American Dream is alive and well.  Plus, it's also a statement about inclusivity  and -- though I hate this campus buzzword -- diversity.
