A Lot Of People Are Very Upset That An Indian-American Woman Won The Miss America Pageant
“And the Arab wins Miss America, classic.”
Sunday night Nina Davuluri, Miss New York, was crowned the winner of the 2014 Miss America Pageant. She is the first contestant of Indian descent to be crowned Miss America.
1. When her win was announced, Twitter immediately exploded with hateful tweets, with people calling her Arab.
POOKIE.
