Zeke Rodriguez Oh are we playing the game of argument from authority? No need.

I always happy that a dark Indian girl won this contest, as opposed to a light skinned Indian girl. Although old school racism from the 1950s is mostly gone (not completely) colorism will be around for a long, long time. All the racists that called Nina a terrorists or Al-Quaeda probably would be just fine if some light skinned, White passing Iranian or Lebanese girl won Miss America. I mean who brings up Gigi Hadid's race?
Her parents are from South India & she is of Dravidian ethnicity. And as far as skin color is concerned, people of South Indian descent do look like Africans. But they don't have flat-noses or curly hair.
No, genetic studies shows that they are native to South India & not related to any group outside it. But as the South India has hot & humid temperature throughout the year, people there are dark. BTW, I am North Indian but I can distinguish between South Indians & Africans any time because, leaving behind the color, they have different features. e.g. the girl above has pointed nose, straight hair & other non-African features. For details, google: 'ABC Science Gene study reveals Indian origins'
You are talking about the Siddi (population: 50,000) & the Jarawa (population: 250) communities of India. Both of them are of African descent but not of Dravidian. They constitute 0.004% of India's 1.2 billion population. And they never mixed with the rest of India. Siddi were brought in India as African slaves by the Portuguese, British & the Arabs between the 16th &19th centuries. While Jarawa tribe is living in the forests of the Andaman Islands, which is separated from the mainland India.
Nina Daviluri has created history not by beauty alone, but showing talents, smart positive answers, and future achiever for the benefit of America. All future girls who wants the title must take a cue from her. Some dumbass dude commenting about cousin.. In what way cousin marriages related to Miss American? There are cases in Islam Muslim marrying brother's daughter. Just as Prophet married his own multiple wives children. Not among Indians,
I don't understand why people are getting so upset. Are they really so xenophobic, they can't accept that this country is a melting pot of cultural diveristy? To me, that is something to be proud of.
Actually, I'm Indian & Christian. I don't believe in idol worshipping and stuff but to say that they kill themselves if their kids marry outside of their race? That's a stretch. My parents are Indian and they'd prefer if I married somebody from my own culture because it's easier to adjust and you have a lot in common. But they're so chills - they told me they would not mind if I fell in love with a "non-Indian" and married him. Don't generalize (:
it's not always like that dude. where i've been to, it's actually much different- men are total gentlemen and pure at heart. theres the few people who still have the nurturing quality. and even if they did marry cousins, they would be distant cousins.like 10th cousins or something. but 2nd cousin marriage does happen, but very very less probable than marriage with two people whose families are very distant.
I Agree with you but look at the plate form she won from. Its Miss America , definitely they were in a look out for something more than physical this time.i guess this is gonna be a trend setter from now onwards.
Thanks for not saying ALL of us are like that. They say your comment has too many negative votes. They are the ones you're talking about. I agree with you. Pure ignorance and lack of home training, added with plain prejudice. I bet when they go out in public, like to their jobs, they don't act like that. One person of color has done something that they don't like, so they lump all into the same. The judges have a hard job, but I think they made a great choice. She's smart, pretty, classy.
Marrying with the cousin or even any distant family relative is prohibited in Hinduism - which over 80% Indians follows. And Hindus/non-Muslims in India never marry with their cousins. Only Pakistani/Indian Muslims marry their cousins as it's permitted in Islam. So, you are right in case of Pakistan as its 98% population is Muslim but not in case of India whose 86% population is non-Muslim.
60% American TV viewers must have had trouble understanding what she meant during that interview. Unlike, the "typical" Miss America she was thinking before she uttered the words.. Oops! I just pissed lot of people :O
India is a country, in countries people have different religions. Muslims believe in the concept of cousin marriage and are also living in India. It depends on religion and your own beliefs for cousin marriage, not the country itself. I'm British-Indian with Sikh and Hindu religious heritage but don't oppose to the idea of c-marriage if two people are in love, even though Sikhism which is my prominent background is highly against it. ANYWAY WELL DONE NINA!! :D
Hinduism says there are 330 millions gods but doesnt force anybody to pray everyone or anyone of them , as tomtomtom specified if you look up Arya Samaj and about Swamy Dayananda Saraswati (who didn't believe in idol worshipping ) and have a lot of followers , also India doesn't only mean Hindus , there are Christians and Muslims here too, India is full of diversity and you can't genralise anything from one person's point of view about india.
And who are you to say that one should not believe in what they believe in. There is a saying " if you believe completely , even an idol can become god ". There are atheists too , but who are we to say that they are right or wrong , unless you consider yourself to be god.
I saw a comment regarding someone saying that Indians marry cousins and that's rubbish. We don't even marry within the same hierarchy at all. BTW, I would love to marry a girl from another country if she wanna come and stay here in India. Hehe.....but, living here for Westerners isn't easy. You need to have a lot of patience here. It's safer than any other country though despite what you read and hear on the news. That's all bullshit.
she has a unique look, i actually felt that many of contestants looked like same person in appearance....that is my opinion for whats it worth....absolutely nothing! lol
You know what, you can defend India without having to discredit Pakistan. The reputation of one is not inversely related to that of the other! And the rat children thing is a totally different story, nothing to do with cousin marriage. Besides, we do NOT almost exclusively marry cousins.
I am an Indian ( living in India) and i am not an idol worshipper and i believe in all cultures and religion . I dont know where you get your facts from , reading a page about indian culture on wikipedia doesn't make you Mr Know it All. Visit India and meet some indians , then you'll know what they believe in , and for your knowledge Hinduism is a culture which offers freedom to everyone to believe in whatever they want to.
miss america could be miss universe also. blonds hardly get crowded. weird ... blond beauty always is on the fashion stages...could someone explain this?

She's even beautiful when she cries…And medical school?! Wow she really is delightful.
Smart, Gorgeous, we need more Miss Americas like this
She's super hot and smart. Fuck all the racist haters she deserves it.
She's not "super" smart.
If being a doctor doesn't require being super smart in your book, then you must have some shitty doctors! LOL

Nina we are proud of you do not be discourage by hate full comments these people are a curse to humanity.
You are talking about the Siddi (population: 50,000) & the Jarawa (population: 250) communities of India. Both of them are of African descent but not of Dravidian. They constitute 0.004% of India's 1.2 billion population. And they never mixed with the rest of India.
Siddi were brought in India as African slaves by the Portuguese, British & the Arabs between the 16th &19th centuries. While Jarawa tribe is living in the forests of the Andaman Islands, which is separated from the mainland India.
Also... the only real miss "America" would be native Americans (who have fairly dark skin), unless you change the title to miss 'Murica.
her familys from the upper 10%.. people i get to meet once in a while..
She never said those things, so why does she feel the need to apologize?
People keep bringing it up.
I wishes I will watch it this year.
When I saw Miss New York, I was like: "WoW!"
What comments? Miss America 2013 looked so happy for her successor.
Nina Daviluri has created history not by beauty alone, but showing talents, smart positive answers, and future achiever for the benefit of America. All future girls who wants the title must take a cue from her.
Some dumbass dude commenting about cousin.. In what way cousin marriages related to Miss American? There are cases in Islam Muslim marrying brother's daughter. Just as Prophet married his own multiple wives children. Not among Indians,
Francis Godinho obviously ur not white Caucasian
;) thanks for the complement.
This is our culture and religion dude....and we are happy to follow...
She has lovely features mashallah. Colour of skin doesn't matter.
It was nice to here that an Indian origin girl winning a miss America crown
I don't understand why people are getting so upset. Are they really so xenophobic, they can't accept that this country is a melting pot of cultural diveristy? To me, that is something to be proud of.
She's from my neighborhood, the Burbs of the Cuse. One up for Syracuse....Born & raised
She's beautiful!
Indian women are just freaking beautiful. And I am not even Indian.
Actually, I'm Indian & Christian. I don't believe in idol worshipping and stuff but to say that they kill themselves if their kids marry outside of their race? That's a stretch. My parents are Indian and they'd prefer if I married somebody from my own culture because it's easier to adjust and you have a lot in common. But they're so chills - they told me they would not mind if I fell in love with a "non-Indian" and married him. Don't generalize (:
She is soo beautiful!!
it's not always like that dude. where i've been to, it's actually much different- men are total gentlemen and pure at heart. theres the few people who still have the nurturing quality. and even if they did marry cousins, they would be distant cousins.like 10th cousins or something. but 2nd cousin marriage does happen, but very very less probable than marriage with two people whose families are very distant.
THAT IS SO TRUE
She's awesome!
shes gorgeous & smart
The best of America,diversity
I Agree with you but look at the plate form she won from. Its Miss America , definitely they were in a look out for something more than physical this time.i guess this is gonna be a trend setter from now onwards.
She's confident and beautiful :)
Good for her she's not only beautiful but smart
She's smoking hot
What did she about the previous miss America?
Nina is so pretty.
And it seems like she's really concerned about her education.
Beauty and brains. Very impressive.
Wow! Gorgeous!
why not ? how is is any different than german American or French or british or any other as long as she was born in America right ?
VERY BEAUTIFUL.
If she's miss India then miss white Americans would be miss Irish.
Whoop whoop! Amazing win.
Haters are haters because they are naive and backward.

Nina is beautyful and inteligent

So, you are right in case of Pakistan as its 98% population is Muslim but not in case of India whose 86% population is non-Muslim.
It really depend on your culture and part of country you belong to. 97% people don't.
She is beautiful
How Indian of her
I get it. Your point isn't made.
60% American TV viewers must have had trouble understanding what she meant during that interview. Unlike, the "typical" Miss America she was thinking before she uttered the words..
Oops! I just pissed lot of people :O

Hinduism says there are 330 millions gods but doesnt force anybody to pray everyone or anyone of them , as tomtomtom specified if you look up Arya Samaj and about Swamy Dayananda Saraswati (who didn't believe in idol worshipping ) and have a lot of followers , also India doesn't only mean Hindus , there are Christians and Muslims here too, India is full of diversity and you can't genralise anything from one person's point of view about india.
Yea ok there buddy. Your source is 1 colleague. Don't generalize an entire race because of what 1 person says.
And who are you to say that one should not believe in what they believe in. There is a saying " if you believe completely , even an idol can become god ".
There are atheists too , but who are we to say that they are right or wrong , unless you consider yourself to be god.
Uh yh my comment fucked up a little..I meant to say the "stereotypical indian" no offense to Sikhs, I was brought up as one myself..
I saw a comment regarding someone saying that Indians marry cousins and that's rubbish. We don't even marry within the same hierarchy at all. BTW, I would love to marry a girl from another country if she wanna come and stay here in India. Hehe.....but, living here for Westerners isn't easy. You need to have a lot of patience here.

kironde 112 is not pakistani according to his profile.
OOOOOOHHH GOOOD FOR YOU :^)
Even Pakistanis are happy way to go babe
That's beautiful. Finally some diversity
yeeeeeeeeeee VANCITY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If shes miss america will beat india to be miss universe being indian
Im so sorry u look pretty im just little jealous
she has a unique look, i actually felt that many of contestants looked like same person in appearance....that is my opinion for whats it worth....absolutely nothing! lol

I never said it was racist to marry inter-racially.
pakistan and india should be bros. both are proud :)
This woman is so fucking beautiful.
Fucking gorgeous.

um, thanks. we know.
The first runner up was hot too!!!
At lest we I Indians win and are nice even tho other people like American who make fun of us
She seems likable and attractive, but that dance didn't work for me at all. I think Bollywood has more modern stuff.
You know what, you can defend India without having to discredit Pakistan. The reputation of one is not inversely related to that of the other!
And the rat children thing is a totally different story, nothing to do with cousin marriage. Besides, we do NOT almost exclusively marry cousins.
not at all. there is no american dream. go read some books or current events
wtf man hes not a sikh thats not a sikh name
I am an Indian ( living in India) and i am not an idol worshipper and i believe in all cultures and religion . I dont know where you get your facts from , reading a page about indian culture on wikipedia doesn't make you Mr Know it All.

miss america could be miss universe also. blonds hardly get crowded. weird ... blond beauty always is on the fashion stages...could someone explain this?
that is so remarkably racist...dark skinned women can be as hot as fair skinned ladies..besides her smartness made her a cut above the rest....
