Kathy Zhu, 20, who is the vice president of College Republicans at the University of Michigan and solidly behind President Donald Trump, blew the whistle on the pageant Thursday. “Miss World America’s State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and ‘insensitive’ statistical tweets,” she tweeted. Zhu posted communications from Miss World America state director Laurie DeJack to Zhu claiming that Zhu’s social media account contained “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate content” in violation of pageant rules. She cited a requirement that contestants be “of good character” and “not likely to bring disrepute” to the pageant. “Therefore, and effective immediately, MWA does not recognize you as a participant of any sort in any capacity as it relates to any and all events of MWA,” DeJack said in an email Zhu shared. “I’m more than happy a light got shined on it. For me, it wasn’t a big deal I got stripped of the title, it was more of how unfair it was for the whole process to have taken place. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else,” she told the Detroit News. One of the issues pageant organizers had with Zhu was a 2017 tweet in which Zhu wrote, “Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others.” Zhu said the tweet was a response to claims that “all cops are bad cops, all cops were killing blacks.” “It wasn’t anything about blaming blacks specifically for violence. I mean, every community has problems within it. I just shined light on that particular issue because of a subtweet of someone else,” she said. Then there was the incident with a hijab. While a student at the University of Central Florida, she said an individual at a pro-Muslim booth tried to put a hijab on her head, and she forcibly resisted She later vented on Twitter about the incident. After Zhu revealed what the pageant had done, she was at the center of a tweet-storm and held her own. Poster Comment: When we worked Northwestern Football games in Evanston, Illinois, they were playing University of Michigan. We were in the student section. There was a Michigan fan there and the Wildcat fans were picking on him. I said to them all, "If you were in Ann Arbor would you like to be treated in the same manner?" That shut them down pretty quick. Miss Zhu was rightfully incensed. She got screwed over by those PC scum at the Miss World America pageant.

Anybody else remember the good old days when politics wasn't shoved in our faces everywhere we went,and as close as beauty queens got to the subject was to say they wished for "world peace"? The goddamn left just won't be happy until they piss off everybody on the planet.
Remember in the movie Red Dawn, the downed pilot told the kids there were "750 million screaming Chinese". One of the kids said, "I thought there were a billion Chinese." The pilot said, "That was before they got nuked." :-O
