I swear - the media seriously needs to get a LIFE. Last night, Nina Davuluri, a beautiful, talented,
aspiring doctor who has been vocal about her struggle with bulimia, was crowned Miss America - 2014. The minute she was crowned, idiots all over
the country started spewing all “kinds” of ridiculousness that I refuse to
repeat. So what, she is of Indian Heritage. Aren’t we all mixed up? Who cares. People should have other things to talk about
anyway.
The fact that her race is such a hot topic says something
about people’s lives in our society.
I can honestly think about a million
more fiery issues to talk about than how “tan or non-tan” someone is. SERIOUSLY. According to Al Roker of the Today Show, Vanessa
Williams created this same controversy in 1983 when she was crowned Miss
America. Why? Because people were so disturbed by her “African
Americanness.” This was well before our
technology movement, so instead of receiving unintelligible remarks on Twitter,
she received tons of hate in the mail. In 2013, with all of the advancements and opportunities in our country, one would seriously think American society would be so much more “grown-up” than it is. I love that our first amendment gives us the right to speak freely, but seriously, people should have more going on in their lives and less time to spew ridiculousness on social media. People, PLEASE get a life and stop hating on Nina Davuluri.
