A Michigan beauty queen was stripped of her title over comments she made on social media about Muslim women and black people, she said.
Executives with Miss World America told Kathy Zhu, the Miss Michigan 2019 winner, that her “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate” posts on social media were in violation of the organization’s rules and conditions, according to email screenshots posted by Zhu on Thursday.
Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. One of the Twitter posts in question read, “Did you know that the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others.”
