Miss America, President Obama, and Me

In light of the racist responses to Nina Davuluri’s crowning as Miss America, I decided to say a little bit about the hang ups people have surrounding questions of nationality. Most of the time when people ask, “What’s your nationality?” they probably don’t know what they’re asking, and they really want to know about someone’s ethnicity, but either way….it’s something we all need to think more about. Because it’s often rooted to some form of racism.
