Title: Here She Is...Miss Whaaaa? Post by: Howey on September 16, 2013, 09:27:32 am Cue the bigots of Amerika.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/16/showbiz/miss-america-racist-reactions/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_us+%28RSS%3A+U.S.%29 (CNN) - No sooner had the tiara been placed atop her head than a barrage of racist tweets flooded the Internet. "If you're #Miss America you should have to be American," said one. "WHEN WILL A WHITE WOMAN WIN #MISSAMERICA? Ever??!!" screamed another. Nina Davuluri is American. She just happens to be of Indian descent. In fact, she's the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America. But the tweets that followed the 2014 pageant in Atlantic City on Sunday night didn't focus on how it's the second consecutive year that a Miss New York has taken the crown, or about the judge's questions (including ones about Miley Cyrus and Syria). They were about Davuluri's heritage. "Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must've made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote," vented one person. Not that it bears pointing out, but Davuluri's not a Muslim -- and the president didn't have a vote. Title: Re: Here She Is...Miss Whaaaa?

Quote The 24-year-old Fayetteville, New York, native was on the dean's list and earned the Michigan Merit Award and National Honor Society nods while studying at the University of Michigan, where she graduated with a degree in brain behavior and cognitive science. That's pretty freaking amazing. Yea for her! Title: Re: Here She Is...Miss Whaaaa? Post by: Howey on September 16, 2013, 07:49:21 pm wow -from the article - That's pretty freaking amazing.
