    It's disturbing to see racism still so rampant.

    I was a bit disappointed because until I looked at the link I thought they meant Indian as in American Indian. That would have been cool. I'm not a pageant fan but a First Nations American Miss America would cool!

    Racism will never completely go away - whether in America, England, etc.

    That said, Twitter isn't representative of all people - fortunately.

    Yes racism most certainly won't go away any time soon in this country, that's just the way it is. This is another post on twitter...

    I am so proud that we have an Indian Miss America and a Kenyan POTUS.


    It just won't end anytime soon. :(

    Too bad it got news coverage.

    This is weird. Wasn't the name of Miss Universe Canada this year Riza Santos? I don't recall hearing of any racist tweets about her. What's up America? I don't really understand why a society that is supposed to be so "civilized" is still so racist.

    It's funny that almost every racist comment stems from geographical confusion about her ethnic roots, cultural confusion about religious belief in India, or ignorance about what constitutes an American citizen.

    I guess this is a pretty strong indicator that racists are also very often exceptionally unintelligent people.

    I'm just glad that she's from the liberal state of NY, can you imagine if she was from the South and won? Imagine the outrage!
