The first winner of the Miss America pageant from an Indian background has brushed off a barrage of racist messages posted on social networks.

Nina Davuluri, 24, described her delight at winning the the contest saying she was "so happy this organization has embraced diversity."

Just minutes after the result, however, racist comments began to appear on social networking sites.

Miss Davuluri had been embroiled in controversy after being accused of saying her predecessor Mallory Hagan was ‘fat as s***’.

Despite the row, Miss Davuluri, whose $50,000 prize money will help fund her stated ambition of attending medical school, went on to beat Miss California, Crystal Lee and the other top 5 finalists, Miss Minnesota, Rebecca Yeh; Miss Florida, Myrrhanda Jones, and Miss Oklahoma, Kelsey Griswold.

Immediately after her victory a stream of racist abuse began to appear on Twitter.

One Twitter user wrote: 'This is Miss America... Not Miss Foreign Country.'

Another opined: 'Shes (sic) like not even american and she won miss america.'

They later deleted the comment from her profile.

One commenter wrote the message '9/11 was 4 days ago and she gets miss America?' and another added: 'I am literarily soo mad right now a ARAB won'.

"WHEN WILL A WHITE WOMAN WIN #MISSAMERICA? Ever??!!" asked another.

People complain too much. I know I'm one of them, but is this really worth the bother?

Unfortunatly, there are too many people who are not satisfied with their life, due to their own incapability. So they project their anger onto others, which is very easy to do, because the criteria that define "American" are not defined ( and should not IMO ), which leaves alot of room for personal influence and interpretation.
It's definatly not worth the time, but it serves as a vent for said reasons and boosts the ego if the prepetuer gain support/acknowledgement.

Quite a beautiful person btw. Just the makeup irritates me ( gives me the impression that she is trying to hide something or mask it ).

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
