Vines Compilation July 2014
No sooner had the jewelled headdress been placed atop her head than a barrage of racist tweets flooded the net.
"If you are #Miss America you ought to have to be compelled to be yank," said one.




"WHEN can A White WIN #MISSAMERICA? Ever??!!" screamed another.
Nina Davuluri is yank. She simply happens to be of Indian descent. In fact, she's the primary Indian-American to be topped Miss America.
But the tweets that followed the 2014 pageant in city on Sunday night did not specialize in however it is the second consecutive year that a Miss ny has taken the crown, or concerning the judge's queries (including ones concerning Miley prince and Syria).
They were concerning Davuluri's heritage.

"Well they solely picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must've created Obama happy. perhaps he had a vote," ventilated one person.
Not that it bears mentioning, however Davuluri's not a Muslim -- and also the president did not have a vote.
The 24-year-old Davuluri, who's from Syracuse, competed on a platform of "Celebrating Diversity through Cultural competence." For the talent portion, she performed a classical Indian dance amalgamated with Bollywood moves.
