Both Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley are Indian in ethnicity. Her birth name is "Nimarata Nikki Randhawa". She took the name Haley through marriage and Nikki is her middle name.

yes but they aren't in the same positions on the chart

Nikki Haley is at the bottom of the "okay" part. I have no doubt in my mind that if she still went by her birth name, she would've gotten way less votes.

Indian isn't an ethnicity

Haley is a Jatt and Ramaswamy is a Tamil Brahmin

Nationality to be exact...

Edit: Indian is a nationality, not that Nikki and Vivek have Indian nationality...

Their nationality is American
