Indian-American woman wins Miss America, 'Muricans think she's an Arab and go mad

Weevil · 17-09-2013 12:33AM

NDTV carried an absurd 'debate' on this story to-day. The charge layed was that America was racist, based on comments on social networks. Well Done India, Well Done. And next in this magical thinking strategy will be the alleviation of 400,000,000 from subsistence-level poverty.

Think it's time to send some tweets to those tweeters.

There's ignorant people in every lane, townland, village, town, county, state and province in the world. Always was, always will be. It's a pity that they have enough intelligence to utilise social media, but in a way it's good as it shows them up for what they are.

If some of them lose jobs over this, I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Funny and tragic in equal measure. Does make me wonder how actual Arab-Americans get by with the amount of ignorance thrown their way over there...

it's just a spoof site and obviously it works

The american school system is pretty crap and there are vested interests in keeping people thinking that the majority of Americans are white and speak english and those are the people who should represent America.

The school system (district) that we are in is outstanding. It far exceeds anything our children received when we were in Ireland. I wouldn't put my kids back in school in Ireland if I had a gun to my head.

Not really funny.
Whatever mistakes she made in life, the girls life was cut very short with cancer.

On topic, Miss America is a fine looking lady.

I don't mean to make light of anyone's death (and I didn't). Although, I will say I thought that she was a 'pig' in life. Perhaps she might have grown wiser and changed with age. None of us really know. I am only dealing with the sample size provided.

I would be willing to be that 99% of the people posting didn't watch the competition. They wouldn't even have a clue what she looked like.

I wouldn't call it venom, that gives too much weight to their ramblings. It's more like walking into a room that you know has a big annoying blue bottle fly in it.

Unfortunately it's worse than that. I don't even buy into the "it's a vocal minority" thing; Wherever fyou go on the Internet where unmoderated discussion is allowed, there is an over-abundance of stupid, ignorant and racist comments - to the point that they completely drown any possible conversation. More worrisome still, many times you can clearly see many comments come from very young people - those who should have an open mind, being born in a multicultural reality.

Classic example are Youtube comments; Many times, they descend into insults and/or racist slur with no reason whatsoever. I'm not sure it's still around, but some time ago there was a "sneezing panda" video where, somehow, posters managed to engage into a discussion the KKK would be proud of.

Disregrading what's already been said numerous times of the hateful nature of people, know what's funny ? Supporters of her calling her a 'native American' Indian, that it's about time a 'real' Indian won - She's an Asian Indian!!

The idiocy of the US has no bounds...

This. Ms. Goody suffered and died in a way no-one deserves. But they get it anyway. And Ms. Davuluri is a beautiful girl. :cool:

As a noted philosopher once put it, "civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.". This basic principle works fairly well in Peaceable Journey/Castle Doctrine jurisdictions such as Texas. All y'all have a nice day now, y'hear?? :cool:

She's Indian indian not native American.

Ush1 · 17-09-2013 01:01PM

I'm confused, was she of native American descent or Indian descent?

She's of Asian Indian [India].

Come on, her name even gives that away...!

"I'm not a racist. She is representing America doing an Indonesian dance. If it was a Miss Universe pageant it would have been cool,"

Ugh, bollywood is Indian, not Indonesian... *facepalm*

Allyall · 18-09-2013 11:07AM

It's a stupid competition anyway. It singles out individuals to begin with, and then people go crazy when a different individual wins it?

Stoopid peepl.

Also, that one all the 'twits' wanted to win, Miss Mansas, ugh, too masculine..
Also, very similar to every single other 'Merican female on TV.

Yeah - all those non-native native Americans better watch out that a native non native American is a Al Qaeda terrorist in a bathing suit.

Stereotypical people video

Kinda ironic that one of the common mistakes they are trying to make people aware of ("Japanese or Korean, i knew it was one") in that video, they make themselves unintentionally, twice in the video and once at the end (bloopers).. :rolleyes:

You mean Guinness? Guinness is an English drink (porter) brewed in Dublin by a UK company.
