A woman from Michagan is Miss USA. She may be deserving on her own merits but she is discribed as Arab American and it is the Arab part that seemed to be the emphasis of the story. I wonder how much her heritage played in her winning the crown?
While we are discussing political correctness how many of the leaders of unfriendly countries has Obama actually gone to visit and talk with? I suppose reality serves as a real check against campaign rhetoric.
Americaq has always been touted as the land of opportunity yet when someone who isn't white and of European background does something unusual their native country is added to the American part. Take Obama for instance. If he was born in america then he is american. If he was born in Africa and was naturilized then he would be Africn-American.
The Miss USA would be Arab American only is she was born in Arab (there really is no such place, is there?).
