Miss USA Rima fakih

So this year's miss USA winner is Rima fakih. She is the first Arab American to win the beauty pageant and thats a big step for them. As a lebanese female and a muslim she has worked her way up to a model. A very hard professional career to make especially after the 9/11 and other terror attacks. Many people speculate about Muslims and Arabians how they are somehow connected to terrorism and this prejudice leads to hardships for Arabs. Now this theory is starting to be proven because Rima also won the pole dancing contest in 2007. This is ridiculous get off her back she just won the pageant and now they are already doing background checks. The past is the past and I dont think it was all that bad she wasnt naked she was just provocatively dancing on a pole. Probably having some fun or trying to win the contest because thats what shes good at. I mean now that she is a model she will probably have to show even more skin and take more seductive pictures. Im sure past models have done their fare share mistakes or maybe even worse. People are making a big deal out of this because of her race and religion. Hey when your that good at something or you make it and do it big, people underestimate you and feel stupid when you prove them wrong. I like Miss Fakih's attitude toward her opposers I agree just brush those haters off. She represents her ethnicity big time and is confident, she is not embarrassed to sticking with her family. I guess people will always be judging you but at the end you just gotta live your life. One thing she achieved is that nn a way she has changed the view of Arabs and gave a positive image. She has showed that not only Arabs are beautiful and good looking but they are good people at heart too. They love the country they live in and they want to be part of Americas melting pot. So many racial barriers have been broken that made a statement this year such as President Obamas win at the election. That will be in the textbooks but this is going down in the history of beauty pageants.
