Idiots reveal themselves after Miss America pageant

[chips93]

Nope. Pakistani's are not Arabs.

so are indians and pakistanis the same race? is there a word for that group?

[BrooklynZoo]

i completely disagree.

winning it as an indian-american is a great point to prove, and hopefully that was a direct part of her motivation.

i think doing a little bollywood to represent her country is awesome, and i that any other american who knows their own roots should applaud her.

and people who use 9/11 as an excuse for bigotry should never forget:

oh, yea... and go nets!

ehh, would you feel the same way if she sang an Indian song as a talent? or the Canadian national anthem? or a very asian themed dance/song routine? idk..

Go Knicks!

Besides 'terrorist'?

It's all a bit complicated. If you have the time, read about it here.

India and Pakistan were the same country prior to 1947.

oops! thought you were a nets fan.

to answer your question-- i think it would be awesome if she sang an indian song as a talent, and would urge every red-blooded american to applaud her or else be a hypocrite.

and why exactly would anyone sing the canadian national anthem at a talent contest? that doesn't make any sense to me.


EDIT: what you seem to be doing here is mixing up a person's heritage with their nationalism.

South Asian would be the name.

And no they aren't Arabs. Pakistanis look very similar to Indians.

Wasn't Pakistan, India. Part of Northern India. The Northern part of India which is mostly moslum broke away into it's own country.

are pakistanis arab? they look identical to indians to me.

Do they not teach geography in school anymore?

[Draz]

Honestly I don't care who won. Race nationality any of that doesn't matter to me. It's a beauty contests? Why do we care so much did we elect her president.

[zoom17]

She is cute Indian girls are hot

basically what Im saying is that I dont know that you should be highlighting your foreign roots in a pageant called Missed America. Though you obviously dont have a problem with it

i admit... i do see america as the land of immigrants, and i'm a big fan of people hanging on to the core of their cultures for their own health and sanity.

My goodness. I know golden retrievers that are more intelligent than these people

[sundizz]

It is interesting tho how much people care. Probably less than a 1000 people said something blatantly racist via interweb...but millions of people are very deeply offended by it. I'm (and I'm Indian) am more offended that the idiot mass media gives these mooranian people a way to annoy us normal non ignorant people.

The quantity of racism is so low compared to the sensationalism of reporting it. It makes it seem like a problem. I wish they did a USA dot chart with blue dots for positive comments and red dots for negative social media comments. Would put this, and likely Alabama, into perspective
