An example of why 'Americans' are considered ignorant....

[Arbo]

The Miss American pageant.... responses because the winner is of Indian descent.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/a-lot-of-people-are-very-upset-that-an-indian-american-woman

1) Idiots that do not know the difference between Indian and Arab.
2) Idiots that do not seem to realize, she *IS AN AMERICAN*

Good lord this country is FULL of f'n morons.

[fj1200]

Correction: Should be why 'Muricans' are considered ignorant.

:slap:

[cadet]

I'll be the only one to have the guts to say it.

She ain't pretty enough to win the pageant. Unless the contestants this year were just really bad. But that's just my opinion.

[Trigg]

The same thing happens when a mixed or white woman is crowned in other countries. Miss South Africa received hateful responses as well as others who were deemed not ethnic enough for the countries they represent.

[red state]

How correct you are Trigg,

I could care less and have never heard of the BUZZFEED....I suppose it is my failing for not following such news sources. My sources follow real news BUT, since I've already ordered my coffee on this thread, I may as well concur with Trigg: There are REALLY STUPID people everywhere and, for the record, I'll never be caught talking about or implying that REAL Americans are ignorant. I searched with SAID TITLE about [a lot of people are upset over Indian-America winning] and below is what I came up with.....

SEARCH RESULTS: PBS, BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, DIMocratic Underground, Bonjour Planet Earth etc.....all hack sources...

Fact of the matter is...the liberals of our society are among the more ignorant when compared to the well informed Tea Party Patriots. So, if one ads liberal American to the equation then I'm inclined to agree entirely!!! Still, it is a NO NEWS thread and I don't appreciate the notion. Americans are (or at least have been) smart enough to have set up the GREATEST economy, military and society that this world has EVER seen and we were definitely smart enough to bail the world out of falling victim to one of the nastiest evils this world has ever seen. Who cares about beauty pageants when so much is going on......Americans with sons and daughters fighting for America certainly doesn't.

Agreed Gabby. Another example, other than your photo in the dictionary, next to the definition of Ignorant American.

Liberals are the enemy...with that, the lose their title of AMERICAN with me so there are REAL Americans and enemies from within.

Liberalism at one time was much different that now BUT, to some degree, they've always had their ranks of evil that hated this Nation. Now they are to the point that MOST embrace the ideals of our enemies and see TRUE Americanism as something foreign or something to be stamped out.

Simply put; If ANYONE chooses and/or strives to leave me defenseless (while at the same time seeking to rob me at all turns) THEY are my enemy. I can't help that in your confused state that you fail to see this. Perhaps you've spent too much time following the wrong media outlets but something is certainty wrong with your thinking. Laugh if you wish, make some sort of sarcastic remark or post an animation or two but I am genuine and I know which side I stand with....the RIGHT side.

Donald trump owns the miss America pageant. I guarantee you he verified that the woman's American.

I thought the competition wasn't decided on outward beauty alone. If it was, it could be easily dismissed as misogynist, sexist and shallow.

I ran into an interesting article regarding colorism in India and the reaction on the web regarding how Dark Miss America is.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/regajha/is-miss-america-too-dark-skinned-to-ever-be-crowned-miss-ind



With very few exceptions, Indian pageants have tended to reward fairer-skinned contestants.
Former Miss India and Miss World, Aishwarya Rai, who is lauded across India as “the most beautiful woman in the world,” has light skin and green eyes.

Did anyone see Miss Kansas? She's National Guard and had the serenity prayer tatooed on her side. She broke all kinds of taboos in this year's pageant. Her talent is being a mechanic, archery and I believe skiing. But none of these could be showcased so she learned how to sing opera less than a week before the state competition. She won the online vote as America's Choice for Miss America.
