Comedian Terrence Williams humorously rebuked former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley after she made comments about being subjected to “racism” because of her “brown” skin.
During a joint interview with NBC News and The Des Moines Register, Haley shared her struggles growing up in a small Southern town as the only Indian family.
She recounted incidents of being harassed because of her skin color and the challenges she faced, including being excluded from a beauty pageant for not fitting into pre-defined racial categories.
“We were the only Indian family in our small Southern town. I was teased every day for being brown. So anyone who wants to question it can go back and look at what I said about how hard it was to grow up in the Deep South as a brown girl,” Haley said.
“If you want to know what it was like growing up, I was excluded from the beauty pageant because I wasn't white or black because they didn't know where to put me. So look, I know the hardships and the pain that comes with racism. She added, “This is why I “I fight bullies every day when it comes to racism, anti-Semitism or hate.”

However, her comments did not go down well with comedian Terrence Williams.
In his video response, Williams humorously questioned Halle's assertion that she was “brown,” compared her skin tone to various things and sarcastically claimed to be the only white family in Compton, California.
