    Truly disgusting behavior, folks. I imagine most of you, like me, don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about the Miss American pageant. But behavior like this makes us all look bad. And we don't really have to use our imaginations to determine the political persuasion of people who hate on brown people in the spotlight.

    The pageant itself is the disgrace. "There are racists that watch the sexism galla" truly shocking.

    Miss America lost its meaning a long time ago.Instead of judging on quality and such it has become nothing but a PC war. Not saying this girl didnt deserve it because hell i stopped watching in my teens, but it seems most winners these days are chosen in the name of PC instead of actual merit.

    wont be long till we have a man win the competition just to keep things fair.

    This is basically a made up story. A couple of racist comments on twitter? In a country of over 300 million?

    Apparently Mr Dallas Robinson is one of the most important opinion makers in the United States.

    I'm curious how many of these racist tweets there were. I doubt there were more than 20 or so.

    She's a gorgeous woman, and deserving of the crown.

    The most beautiful woman in the world is also Indian:

    Beauty pageant watchers say Nina Davuluri won the crown by beating her close rivals in the talent portion of the competition, counting for 30 percent. Her Bollywood dance performance was far better than Miss California's ballet dance and Miss Kansas's Italian opera song and she danced like a pro while others showed their lack of talents.

    While she was singing “Nessun Dorma” by Puccini, the pageant flashed this little factoid: “Learned her song by watching YouTube.”

    I will agree with you how pathetic racist comments are whether they come from the NAACP, calling whites crackers or some loon redneck saying something stupid about this absolutely drop dead gorgeous Miss America, who was born in America. I hate racists of any color

    I do wonder if you find it pathetic when Miss America a few years ago was viciously attacked by liberals for saying she supported traditional marriage?

    It was actually Miss California, Carrie Prejean, in the Miss America pageant, who was viciously attacked first by Perez Hilton then others.

    that hate speech happens on twitter no matter what the source. YOu seem to think otherwise by claiming the story was made up.

    that still does not make it right. Twitter and other social media outlets provide a certain anonymity to the posts and showing what people really are and what they really think that you cannot hide behind the facade of politeness on face to face conversations. . People are saying this because they know they can say this. They are not trying to be funny or provocative. They are really not wanting attention. They are letting loose an anger that has been boiling inside of them for quite some time. It is far different if those same people said the very same things in public where you can attach a name to a face. That is why a couple of contestants in Big Brother reality show got axed by their job for what they said even though ABC is enjjoying the controversy since it means higher ratings.

    That would be like saying you stopped watching and reading all news, but still have a strong opinion on current events.

    They like to stereotype the poor that do not vote for them. Kinda like they do for African Americans and Hispanics that do not vote for the democrats.

    On the OP I think the winner is very attractive. Always thought Indian women were very desirable.
