America's new queen Nina Davuluri has received a of racist abuse after she won the Miss America pageant on Sunday night. She is the first woman of Indian to win. Many people left on Twitter questioning a "non-American" had become Miss America. Many tweeters mistook her an Arab. Others said she looked a terrorist. One tweeter said: "Well they just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must've made Obama . Maybe he had a vote." Ms Davuluri was born in New York and grew up the Hindu in Oklahoma and Michigan.

The tweets are news in Indian media. The Times of India wrote: "The tiara had been placed on her head and the customary of joy had just emerged when racist erupted on social media, marring the of triumph for the first ever Miss America of Indian ." Ms Davuluri ignored the comments and said she didn't care what a people thought. She said: "I have to rise that. I always viewed myself as and foremost American." She was happy the contest "has embraced " and thankful children could "relate to a new Miss America".
