I like her.
Hours before the pageant began, dozens of protesters held a mock ceremony in downtown Mexico City that featured "Miss Marijuana," "Miss Sexual Health," "Miss Human Rights" and other candidates with obscenities written across their sashes. The group yelled "Neither ugly nor beautiful, should a woman be considered an object!"
Miss Universe is US-biased, and I admit this as an American.
But the US-bias is really because of the US media.
As I've mentioned before, the US media is the most racist, sexist and continually ignorant industry we have in the US.
And that's heavily why most actors/actresses are so left-leaning after dealing with it.
And despite common counters, the media does not represent and cater to what most Americans want, but only that small, subset (sub-25%) that watch 8+ hours.
As far as Miss America getting boo'd, that's not even the half of it!
She was continually treated with disrespect and countless, endless insults and taunts throughout her stay in Mexico.
This is not uncommon for Americans traveling abroad now, even in the nations of their allies.
Frankly, I'm with NBC, it only goes so far, and it reflected very poorly on Mexico, even though only a subset of them (and not a majority) were guilty.
If you don't like the US' actions, the last thing you should do is alienate its citizens.
In fact, such attitudes is a good part of the reason why W. was re-elected, because even left Americans who can't stand them are so labeled, and people don't care.
Why? Because they are Americans, not because of what they believe or don't believe.
Many of my colleagues have experienced this traveling abroad in the last few years.
People forget that most of the anti-US sediment started the second the USSR died.Well said Prof. I'd like to add that I felt this recent tradition of anti-US sentiments even before the 9/11 incident, when I was in Europe during the summer of 1999.
"America on tap, not on top."I guess that's really neither here nor there.
He's an ass and not a good representative of the American dream, not at all.Go TRUMP...not.
