Miss Politically Correct America #missamerica

The liberal Miss America judges won't say this - but Miss Kansas lost because she actually represented American values.

Miss Kansas, a gun-toting, deer-hunting, military veteran was America's choice - but not the liberal Miss America judges' choice.

Apparently the liberal Miss America Pageant judges weren't ready for a patriotic, gun-toting, deer-hunting Miss America. #missamerica

Miss Kansas is singing opera - she should've fired off a few rounds at the end. @calebeparke @dglasscock

Miss America crowns 1st winner of Indian descent

She's the second consecutive New York beauty queen to take the Miss America title, but she's the first Indian-American to wear the national crown -- er, tiara -- atop her perfectly coiffed head.

"I was the first Indian Miss New York, and I'm so proud to be the first Indian Miss America," Nina Davuluri said after she won.

Davuluri's resume goes considerably deeper than her heritage, however.

The 24-year-old Fayetteville, New York, native was on the dean's list and earned the Michigan Merit Award and National Honor Society nods while studying at the University of Michigan, where she graduated with a degree in brain behavior and cognitive science.

When you consider that half of the registered Republicans couldn't find India on a globe (Indiana either for most of them) its hard to imagine how they could feel a deep seated hatred for its people. But if you think of this fine young woman as a person of color it becomes a lot easier to understand - and abhor - the right wing response to her success.

I wish I could copy my daughter's facebook rant about this (re: "real Americans&quot , as the daughter of an Indian (from the Indian sub-continent) and a mother of western European heritage (my "kin" came to this continent in the 1700s) she captures the anger that many Americans feel.
