Miss Michigan World America stripped of title over 'offensive' social media posts

[superpatriotman]

On Thursday evening, a beauty queen and fan of President Donald Trump was stripped of her title for what she claims is discrimination against her conservative political views.

Kathy Zhu, also a University of Michigan student, was dismissed as a Miss World America pageant participant when the organization claimed the content of her social media was "offensive, insensitive and inappropriate."

1. Good lawd people.

Freep is the Detroit Free Press.

[superpatriotman]

6. A USA Today Company...

Detroit used to have two great newspapers, the Detroit News leaning a little more right, The Free Press a bit more left.

Not any more.

[demmiblue]

8. Apparently, someone thought you where linking to Free Republic.

Probably a troll.

2. K&R, dumb ass's keep poking their racist heads up and they keep losing their status

[CurtEastPoint]

3. well, I read what she wrote and she's a pretty and quite ignorant twit

[gohuskies]

4. Lay down with dogs you get fleas

Feeling empowered by the Dotard to say racist things openly has a price and she is supposedly the best of Michigan so don’t 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.

5. Her comments

"There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus.
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?"

and

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."


poor her...

7. This happens from wearing your crown and sash too tight. It cuts off the blood flow to the brain.

[gohuskies]

9. Drumpf will appoint her acting secretary of some open cabinet office

She is just his type of bigot

[Scurrilous]

11. Someone should throw a Miss MAGA pageant.

Imagine the possibilities...

[superpatriotman]

13. Aren't most pageants already?

Archaic and ready-to-be relegated to the misogynist dustbin of history IMO.

[Freedomofspeech]

12. Not a racist or "stuff like that"...

Typical trump trash.

[struggle4progress]

14. '... When asked about the 2018 hijab incident, Zhu said that "a Muslim woman tried to forcibly put

a hijab on my head without my permission." 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

Histrionic Hysteria is a popular major in some circles

15. Miss World is almost as much of shady, bullshit pageant as Trump's (well, before he sold his part)

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.

16. Actions have consequences, Ms. Zhu

[NBachers]

17. Kathy Zhu - Liberal Tears

Maybe Jacob Wohl's hiring for his next fact-filled exposé video stunt.

24. I feel sorry for her. She's going to feel really stupid when she finds out.

When she finds out that the folks yelling 'send her back' are talking about her too.

[progressoid]

18. She'll get a job at Fox

[lpbk2713]

19. She'll have to bleach her hair.

Or wear a blonde wig.

[Farmer-Rick]

20. Oh now racism is considered just another political view?

Like hate for others is considered just another Christian view.

[SCVDem]

21. Is she related

To the Turtles chinese wife?

If she were a Democratic they would be chanting!

[ellie]

23. She seems nice
