    U-M student Kathy Zhu stripped of Miss Michigan World America title


    Andrea Perez Balderrama
    22 hrs ago



    On Thursday evening, a beauty queen and fan of President Donald Trump was stripped of her title for what she claims is discrimination against her conservative political views.

    Zhu still defends the two now deleted tweets that are being put into question.

    The first is an incident that dates back to 2018, in which Zhu went up to a Muslim Student Association booth celebrating World Hijab Day and declined to wear a hijab when prompted. She then tweeted:

    "There is a 'try a hijab on' booth at my college campus.

    So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"
    The second is a reply to another used in which Zhu says:

    "Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community before blaming others."

    "This applies for every community," Zhu said. "If there is a problem, fix things in your own community before lashing out at others and trying to find an issue there. That is all I wanted to say. It is not a problem against black people. Obviously I am not racist or stuff like that."

    It has gotten to the point where an accusation of racism is accepted as fact and beyond question. It is a political tool that will stain forever with no chance of recovery.

    We may as well be prepared for the onslaught of accusations since the Democrats have chosen to hang their hats this time on casting Trump and the GOP as racist. It is not going to work.

    Democrats get real nervous when minorities wander off the vote plantation.

    So whoever gave her the award doesn’t want to be associated with her idiotic comments. Why do conservatives want to force people to endorse views they don’t agree with?

    There was no racist part, all the instructional racism is on the Left, but, we are seeing progress.

    STANDING UP AGAINST 21ST CENTURY RACISM. Which is, naturally, perpetrated by higher education. Idaho lawmakers call on Boise State to ditch segregation by race, sexual orientation.
    ​
    Today she can be blackballed and stripped of her position, in the future that is rapidly coming it is these leftwing fascists that will feel the heel.

    Who is asking them to endorse them? Are only liberal views allowed anymore?

    What race is Islam?
    How is a head covering racist?
    Yet her example is using black people compared to a generalized statement about murder itself in a community setting...

    Here is a link because the OP failed to provide one to the actual story..

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ipped-of-miss-world-america-title/1780214001/
    Although I find beauty pageants to be shallow and pedantic it shouldn't take away from her airhead statements..

    They don’t want their title associated with her views. Do they not have that right?

    Who is being forced to endorse anything? Are you endorsing censorship of women? That women should are only allowed say what other people deem acceptable? Seems a bit misogynistic to me. Why don't you just tell them to shut up and to go make you a sandwich.

    Should have mentioned the contest is only for leftists then...

    Although I'm sure if they didnt want to be associated with her skin color, thatd be an issue, yes?

    I don't see anything racist in either of those tweets, unlike the Trump tweet, but I'm sure there are contract clauses covering this..

    Here's another really dumb statement from this chick - "It is just not okay to be prejudiced against people who just have a different political view as you.”

    Nobody is being prejudiced when they are opposing her political views... prejudice is defined as "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.".... We now have reason AND actual experience to dislike Trump fans...

    If her views were simply of limited govt and reducing spending I doubt she’d be in this position. Controversial views on race and religion are risky for anyone in a public role.

    Maybe she should go back to Asia and learn how to tweet better, then come back and show us how it is done??
