From Time’s Belinda Luscombe at the end of an interview with South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, who was born and raised as a Sikh:
In New York City, which you’re visiting for a couple of days, a lot of our taxi drivers are Sikhs. If you get one, are you going to give him a slightly bigger tip?
This is outrageous. Why does Luscombe casually accept the gender normative view that all taxi drivers are male?
(By the way, Haley answered that she gives the same tip to everyone. She also quite charitably refrained from slugging Luscombe.)
