of Indian Descent Embraces Discussion On Diversity.” CNN. CNN, 19 September 2013. Web. 14 October 2013.
What Strikes Me Most
2. As I had mentioned earlier, I was in the search for
articles and journals that was ultimately pro-pageant. I was lucky to have two
major pageants happen in the past month and one of them being Miss America. It
was tumultuous win for Miss New York as she is the first Indian American to
have won, but got denounced by many haters for being Muslim and Arab. Ironically, she is neither and their
was a recent winner not to long ago who was actually Arab. My experience with
this news was pretty limited to tidbits on facebook or youtube comments, so I
actually was not aware of the bigger picture. I thought to remedy that, I went
to search for articles via CNN.
What I found was that the article was very pro-pageant yet
it also answered my question on whether or not pageants are good platforms to
bring forth social issues and perhaps provide solutions to them.
Source Notes:
3.) "I have always viewed Miss America as the girl next
door," Davuluri said. "But the girl next door is evolving, as the
diversity of America evolves. She's not who she was 10 years ago, and she's not
going to be the same person come 10 years down the road."
“Davuluri sees it as her mission to tackle such stereotypes
head on. It's why the daughter of two Indian-born parents has a pageant
platform of "celebrating diversity through cultural competence."
“And Davuluri couldn't be happier with the reality she's now
living -- as a groundbreaker, and a talking point, in a country addressing its
cultural diversity.”
The Source
Reconsidered:
4. Truth be told,
there wasn’t much to reconsider after I looked over the source. I knew what I
was getting from the beginning and I got what I needed. The source is very
valuable, because some of the things Nina says gives me food for thought about
what I could write about.
