So the winner of Miss America this year is of Indian descent.

Needless to say, thanks to the wonders of twitter this brought a bubbling up of unpleasantness from the nation’s murky depths.

So far, so predictable.

The question is why newspapers see fit to report the witterings of wankers on Twitter and other social networks. These aren’t peer reviewed papers, they’s hastily and (in my case anyway) drunkenly scrawled messages on a digital whiteboard.  You might as well just go down to the local pub and write your story about things you overheard at the bar.

 Miss America has risen above it all though. Top lass.

Also, she is keen to shake off the stereotypes of Indians. She’s using her money to go to medical school.

Well, it was that or grow a moustache and start driving a taxi I guess.
