I am glad she won. Didn't they demand to view her birth certificate? Akin to calling Obama a terrorist and a muslim. Got some education?
Miss America 2014 Win Prompts Racist Twitter Backlash, Followed By (Some) Twitter ApologiesAnyone who was watching Twitter as they watched the Miss America 2014 pageant saw a pretty ugly sight as the winner was announced.
No, not winner Nina Davuluri's "ugly cry" (which was rather graceful, as these things go). After Davuluri received her crown, Twitter was flooded with hateful tweets in reaction to Davuluri's Indian-American heritage.
BuzzFeed helpfully collected many of the awful tweets, the themes of which ranged from anti-Arab sentiment -- "So miss america is a terrorist" -- to anti-Indian racism -- "Miss America? You mean Miss 7-11."
