Not any more.

(1,157 posts)Feeling empowered by the Dotard to say racist things openly has a price and she is supposedly the best of Michigan so dont play the victim for vile social media posts. Everything the Dotard touches dies so she is getting her turn in the barrel. Shame on her.

So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"

The second is a reply to another used in which Zhu says:
"Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community before blaming others."
"This applies for every community," Zhu said. "If there is a problem, fix things in your own community before lashing out at others and trying to find an issue there. That is all I wanted to say. It is not a problem against black people. Obviously I am not racist or stuff like that."

This contradicts her original description of the incident, in which she said she was asked if she would like to try one on but she "politely declined" ... "Are the people in MWA implying that they advocate for the punishment of women who refuse to wear a hijab?" Zhu added. She did not provide any evidence to suggest the MWA was indeed in favor of punishing women for refusing to wear hijabs ...'
TRUMP-SUPPORTING MODEL STRIPPED OF MISS MICHIGAN TITLE OVER 'RACIST, ISLAMOPHOBIC, AND INSENSITIVE' POSTS

(33,643 posts)Miss USA and Miss Teen USA.
The premier pageants (such as they are) are Miss America (meaning USA, of course) and Miss Universe (winners of the Miss America series, in their own countries of course).
These have some semblance of cultural meaning a semblance of imprimatur, and much longer histories.
Miss World and Miss USA are bullshit, rinky-dink outfits.
But at least Miss World is respectable enough to shit-can this lying racist.
