veer Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Big deal if she danced to Bollywood songs. Does that make her any less an American? No, it doesnt but then dont raise a stink when ppl say things that you dont like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veer Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 you think all 53 contestants performed to reflect primarily american culture. Miss Kansas Therea Vail sang Puccini's Nessun Dorm. That no way reflects american culture. Miss Georgia Carly Mathis sang On My Own from Les Miserables. Dont know what those two things are but people would have said the same thing if one of those two had won the crown.. My point is... if you want to perform on bolly dance in Miss America contest then be prepared to face the music.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhunaeh Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 The ones facing the music are the idiots on twitter and foxnews. She just won a competition. Even the president is the son of a foreigner and spent some days of his childhood overseas. The same idiots object, but he still is the president voted in by a majority of americans.

It is a free country. Anyone can go after anybody for any bloody reason. There is not a single celebrity has escaped. You just have to brush it off and move on instead of paying attention to those morons. It is CNN's fault to project it as a news. Opinion is like an a.hole. Everyone has one. If CNN is going to cover every a.hole on twitter then fault is CNN's not the contestants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no clue what you're talking about and you seem just as ignorant as those people who wrote the comments. Dancing to a Bollywood song is a crime now and warrants racist comments ?

Brainfade Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Instead of obsessing about the small minority that does not accept you, be grateful for the great majority that does. Which is what I say when ignorant people ask me "You live in the South? Isn't it like way too racist there? Doesn't everyone think you're a terrorist? How do you survive that?"

As for her choice of Bollywood dance, I agree that it was the wrong choice. She should've performed a Kathak, Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi dance, or sat down and sang a Carnatic song with Taalam and all ... :-)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvvslaxman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Here are the top comments on that from CNN Pavol Almasi • 8 hours ago Really, her race matters? If she was as scientist, it would not matter. If she was a soldier, it would not matter. If she was really anything it wouldn't matter. But Miss America - suddenly, she's not American enough... I guess that's the American way of evolving... Very sad. 295 5 •Share › Avatar Howie Blumenkopf • 8 hours ago This is America and you have the right to say any stupid thing you want even if its false or racist.For a short list of stupid things you can say keep scrolling down. 155 10 •Share › Avatar KatieBoBatie • 8 hours ago My family tuned in just in time for the talent portion last night and I have to say, we were blown away by Nina Davuluri's dance performance. It was so different from ANYTHING you would expect at the Miss America pageant, and she also managed to combine her heritage with beauty, skill, and athleticism. She earned that crown! 134 7 •Share › Avatar jls22 • 8 hours ago Just glad that the Miss America judges aren't like the arrogant, narrow-minded twits who tweeted in after the pageant. 131 5 •Share › Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhunaeh Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Fox News & Commentary radio host Todd Starnes Miss Kansas, a gun-toting, deer-hunting, military veteran was America's choice - but not the liberal Miss America judges' choice. The liberal Miss America judges won't say this - but Miss Kansas lost because she actually represented American values. #missamerica Miss Politically Correct America #missamerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
