Nina Davuluri, the "Arab Terrorist" who won Miss America
Nina Davuluri...she's all over the news, isn't she? And, for all the wrong reasons, unfortunately.
Yay, she graduated from U of M, so I guess we share a common link!
The one that was the best (funniest or saddest, I don't know which) is this:
******
“Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must’ve made Obama happy. Maybe he had a vote,” griped Elizabeth@EJR Buckeye.
******
Trust a Buckeye to get it completely wrong! I'm amazed at the ignorance of some people in this world. And, their arrogance is directly proportional to their ignorance.
Here's a few more tweets I read on the Web:
******
One commenter wrote the message ‘9/11 was 4 days ago and she gets miss America?’
“WHEN WILL A WHITE WOMAN WIN #MISSAMERICA? Ever??!!” asked another.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘This is Miss America... Not Miss Foreign Country.’
Another had this observation: ‘Shes (sic) like not even american and she won miss america.’
One Twitter user, DallasRobinson8, wrote: “I am literally soo mad right now a ARAB won. #MissAmerica”
Jakeamick5 added: “How the **** does a foreigner win miss America? She is a Arab! #idiots”

Curse me if you think I'm being anti-Indian. I was on the scooter exiting our apartment complex when a youngster on another scooter went past me (he exited our apartment complex, as well) and then abruptly turned right on to a road without waiting for oncoming traffic to stop. A car coming in the opposite direction had to brake hurriedly to prevent an accident. I turned right, too and was right behind him. Next, I saw him reach down (while driving) and throw an empty, plastic bottle casually by the roadside and continue. This is, in all likelihood, the educated son of a well-to-do, educated person living in our apartment complex. The audacity and callousness with which a lot of youngsters in India behave tells me that parents are doing a poor job of bringing up their kids to be socially responsible and mature, which means that India's future cannot claim to be in good hands. If the next generation is not taught (and will not learn on their own) to be decent, upright, honest, proud citizens of the country, then what chance does the country have?
