She’s anglicized herself profusely to appeal to bigots

Not to defend her, but she has gone by her middle name, Nikki, since she was born. It’s is a Punjabi name meaning “little one”. She later took her husband’s last name when they married, which is a pretty normal thing for people to do.

I don’t think they’re implying it’d be acceptable, just that the current economic situation makes that fantasy even more unrealistic.
