Miss New York Nina Davuluri has been crowned the new Missย America. Davuluri is Indian-American, which inspired racists and morons (andย racist morons) to register their complaints on Twitter. Some felt she isn’tย American (despite being born in Syracuse), other cracked wise about 7-Eleven,ย while the most astute of the bunch saw a win for al Qaeda (despite the factย that… oh, never mind).
Different kind of Indian than we normally report on, but,ย unfortunatey, it’s the same old racism. We have to wonder what sort of nonsenseย might spew forth if an American Indian won Miss America? Maybe instead of “notย American enough” the Tweeters would protest that she is too American.
Tip of the hat to BuzzFeed for collecting so many ofย these:
@MeredithRoanell “This is Miss America… not Miss Foreignย Country”
@kathrynryan50 “shes like not even american and she wonย miss america”
@EJRBuckeye “Well they just picked a Muslim for Missย America. That must’ve made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote”
