I understand that you have defended the display of the Confederate flag on the grounds of the statehouse in Columbia. I hope that deep inside you, you understand that being elected from a diverse racial background does not eliminate racism, just look at President Obama as an example of that. Please take down the flag which is a symbol of racist ideology and actions targeting Black communities. As a South Asian, I stand against racism and inequity. I hope you will too.
