A pretty girl wins a beauty pageant and people are up in arms.  One has to love the madness of America.  24-year-old, Rima Fakih, of Michigan won Donald's Trump's Miss USA pageant last night, and sure enough the critics were out in full force today.  Fakih is a Lebanese immigrant, and may be one of the first Arab-Americans to win the contest, and the feat should be celebrated.  It is a great showcase of diversity, and overrides the majority of negative stereotypes of the Arab world, especially with the anti-immigrant stance of so many in our country right now, but some feel the need to criticize.

Jocelyn Noveck, of the Associated Press, writes, "Meanwhile, some harsh critics wondered if Trump's Miss USA organization was trying to send a message, sniping that the victory amounted to "affirmative action," or implying the first runner-up, Miss Oklahoma USA , suffered unfairly because of an answer she gave supporting Arizona's new immigration law."

Did someone say "Affirmative Action' in the same sentence as a beauty pageant?  Come on, people, get a grip.  And in response to Miss Oklahoma possibly getting judged for her answer, well honey, that's the nature of the competition.  If you want to have controversial views, that is fine, but don't go crying to your mother if you lose a Miss USA pageant for it.
