Nina Davuluri, 24, was recently crowned Miss America in the annual Miss America pageant. She was born in Syracuse, NY, and has since lived in Oklahoma, Michigan, and now resides back in Syracuse. She went to college at the University of Michigan, and received various accolades for merit (Dean's List, Michigan Merit Award, National Honor Society Award). She is an aspiring cardiologist. Before winning the Miss America pageant, she also was the runner up in Miss Teen America.
Because Davuluri is not a white American, it has spurred racist comments on social media sites. Comments were made accusing her of being a terrorist, a member of al Qaeda. Some people dreaded the fact that Miss USA was not white. Despite all of the negative comments, even more were made in support of Davuluri. Many people told her to stay strong, and that no matter what people said about her she was beautiful.
I for one agree with the people who support Davuluri. The people who accused her of being a terrorist are ignorant and hateful. Davuluri is beautiful no matter how many hateful comments are made. To all those who think it's okay to spew hateful words over the internet should think twice. They only made her stronger.
I agree Joe, they are hateful. Why can't they just support her and acknowledge her beauty.
