Racism Still on

A decade has been passed the discussion is still on racism. Though people says that they are against racism but the recent controversy related to Miss America 2014 Nina Davuluri reflects that still there is racism in our world. Nina Davuluri   the first Asian American Miss New York, has been crowned 2014′s Miss America,  Davuluri, the daughter of an Indian American OB/GYN, Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood dance during the pageant’s talent segment, underscoring her Desi roots. Sadly, this only served to further enraged xenophobes and racists on social media, who all-too-expectedly unleashed a flood of ignorance on Twitter the instant the tiara touched Davuluri’s head. Some commenter’s, like Buckeye Elizabeth, chose to attack Davuluri for being Muslim, despite the fact that she is the daughter of Hindu immigrants from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

The new Miss America was confronted with a challenging question during the poise portion of the competition when Judge Carla Hall (of ABC’s “The Chew”) asked her to reflect on the revelation by Julie Chen, of her decision to have plastic surgery to look “less Asian.” Davuluri’s answer: She’s against it. But in her response, she also managed to drop a pointed remark: “I’ve always viewed Miss America as the girl next door. And Miss America is always evolving.” Some mentioned ties to al-Qaeda and at least one flat-out called her a terrorist.

And a lot of the tweets were attacks on the fact that she is the first woman of Indian descent to win the pageant and wear the crown. She was referred to as "the Arab," by some and other commenter’s noted "This is America, not India." One called her "Miss 7-11."

A lot of controversy happened through social media. Many tweets were against the Miss America 2014
