Sunday night Nina Davuluri, Miss New York, was crowned the winner of the 2014 Miss America Pageant. She is the first contestant of Indian descent to be crowned Miss America.
When her win was announced, Twitter immediately exploded with hateful tweets, with people calling her Arab.
And the Arab wins Miss America. Classic.
POOKIE.
