So proud of our country
 
Public Shaming - Americans Call First Indian American Miss America Winner a Terrorist

Americans Call First Indian American Miss America Winner a Terrorist

On Sunday September 15, 2013, Miss America 2014 was crowned. Who will be the new Miss America?

24 year old Miss New York, Nina Davuluri. Born in Syracuse, New York and having lived in Oklahoma and Michigan, Nina Davuluri is the first ever Indian American crowned Miss America.

When Nina was crowned Miss America, the reaction from viewers is what you’d come to expect from Americans seeing a non-white foreigner with a “weird-sounding name” on their TV screens…

They called her a terrorist, of course!

I don't take those comments seriously. They are just trying to troll everyone and they are succeeding. Unfortunately, it just makes everyone think that racism is still very prevalent in the US and then I am stuck listening to my non-engineering gen ed professors go on and on about this BS.

strupgolf 09-16-2013 05:51 PM

Yea, great, lets move on.

Maybe those people are suffering from some kind of mood disorder?

Mood Disorders: Mental Health America
Quote:

How Common Are Mood Disorders?
About 20% of the U.S. population reports at least one depressive symptom in a given month, and 12% report two or more in a year. A survey conducted in 1992 found rates of major depression reaching 5% in the previous 30 days, 17% for a lifetime. Bipolar disorder is less common, occurring at a rate of 1% in the general population, but some believe the diagnosis is often overlooked because manic elation is too rarely reported as an illness.

32% of workers stated a co-workers drug/alcohol use affected their job performance.
Either those people are over medicating, or need to get back on their medication.

That's my answer, and I'll stick with it until proven wrong.

Recent studies reveal that nearly one-half of the U.S. population is taking at least a single prescription medication and greater than 20 percent of us are currently receiving medication for mental health issues. Why that is remains uncertain.

If you were to check out a lot of those folks saying vile and stupid things, you'd find they have no "followers" on Twitter. So almost nobody would see their Tweets... Unless they make comments that shock people.

There's some kind of weird phenomenon on the Internet -- every Youtube video, no matter how benign attracts nasty comments and down votes. Picture a kid in mom's basement typing furiously away. Call it a cry for help if you want.

This controversy is interesting though, because Miss Kansas was a big favorite with some. She has multiple visible tattoos... and she's on active service with the Army.

Yeah, it's very weird. Almost like a machine cranks this stuff out.

She's beautiful...but last I checked there were not any Indians (from India) involved in the 9/11 attack...hmm, could so many folks get this fact wrong? me thinks not! So that must mean that they were involved! First they take over our 7/11s, attack us on 9/11, they are the voice we hear when we dial 4/11 and I'm pretty sure India is behind the 2/11 and 6/11 issues!

Is it no coincidence that India is spelled with two i's? Like II or 11? Its all starting to make sense!

Unless you like the taste of curry and enjoy Ballywood you best move the China - last I checked India wanted nothing to do with them folk!

So you think a few idiots represent the USA? I hope not.

Don't let the IQ of a few scumbags ruin your impression of our country. Tim

She looks pretty hot to me, and I don't go for brunettes that much.

Bill Douglas 09-16-2013 09:02 PM

Gorgeous terrorist bit ch. I'd vote for her as prettiest.

Evans, Marv 09-16-2013 09:03 PM

She is totally hot. I don't care what ethnicity she is. It's a bunch of idiots using the internet to make themselves feel like they actually exist.

She is beautiful!!!! I don't watch TV so I missed it.

Ha ha! I get comments from grown adults on the street all the time. Even now. "What are you doing here? Your people bombed Pearl Harbor". Ummmm... No. That would be North Korea. "You are a communist!" No, I am not. I was born in South Vietnam and my father was Vietnamese but was part of the US Navy. People are idiots and ignorant. I don't get offended by them. I feel sorry for them. They just don't know any better. And never will.

aigel 09-16-2013 09:52 PM

I would not play this down as just a few idiots. You have not traveled to the backwards places in this country. There are many people living there and unfortunately now they have internet and phone connections.

I miss the days when you needed half a brain to go online.

This is also why I need to live in a diverse area. I could not deal with this type of stuff in person.

Well, we do have Congress.*


*Sorry to PARF it up, but at least it was non-partisan. :)




Oh, and it was the Japanese that bombed Pearl Harbor. But I'm sure that's what someone (else) meant to type.

Do you believe EVERYTHING you read on the interwebs?

Read: those 'posts' peg my BS-meter. As in some group thinking "Hey, how can we get some extra press -free exposure- for our silly, dated, contest..."

URY914 09-17-2013 02:23 AM

She can blow me up anyday.
