The crowning of Miss New York, Nina Davuluri, as Miss America should have been, to paraphrase her platform, a celebration of diversity through cultural competency. But in the hours after her victory, Twitter became a frank demonstration of American incompetence in matters relating to both ethnicity and geography.
Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That mustve made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote, said one user.
I am literally soo mad right now a ARAB won. #MissAmerica wrote another.
It should go without saying that Davuluri, a Syracuse native of Indian descent, is neither Muslim nor an Arab. But according to Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes, the American-born Davuluri doesnt represent American values, unlike the blonde-haired, blue-eyed contestant from Kansas, Theresa Vail.
This is not to say that Vail isnt an unprecedented contestant in her own right: shes spent five years in the Kansas Army National Guard and is double-majoring in chemistry and Chinese at Kansas State University. But, according to Starnes on Facebook, she lost because the liberal Miss America judges were not interested in a gun-toting, deer-hunting, military veteran.

(29,414 posts)I would figure their idea of values would be easy to list. Such as:
1. Votes Republican
2. Is White
3. Is a (fundamentalist) Christian
4. Watches/listens to Fox exclusively
I'm rarely surprised by anything that comes out of Fox anymore. I do look forward to seeing how Jon Stewart then roasts them with it

(32,081 posts)And, an "R" after her name. She also seems to be ashamed of her heritage, and goes by "Nikki", rather than her real name, "Nimrata". Her maiden name is "Randhawa", and she runs away from that, as well.

(32,081 posts)There was a man of Indian descent who was working in a convenience store in Phoenix. He was a Sikh, and wore a turban. Some brain-dead FoxNews-watcher type shot him dead, thinking he was an "Arab Islamist", and therefore, a "terrorist".
