Funny: I think she's ungrateful for not being a lot more conciliatory to her adopted nation than she was. She still focused on the "discrimination and hardship" her and her family experienced while downplaying her statements about how her parents didn't seem too keen on assimilating into American culture.

My parents were strangers in a strange land who asked nothing of and expected nothing from those who welcomed us into their country except an opportunity to succeed. In spite of our differences, my mom built a successful business; and my dad taught at a college for 30 years; and the people of South Carolina chose me -- a first generation native-born American -- as their Governor.

How she could have phrased her speech without implying the natives were racist and made it sound as though she had some appreciation for people who were under no obligation to let her parents into their country at all let alone start businesses and have tenured positions at universities.
