Miss World America has stripped beloved conservative commentator Kathy Zhu of her Miss Michigan title over “insensitive” political tweets and her refusing to wear a hijab during a leftist campus event in 2016.
The heartbroken 20-year-old University of Michigan student posted screenshots of the email and text exchanges that she had with MWA’s State Director Laurie DeJack on Twitter.
In the exchanges, DeJack continuously declared that there was a “problem” without explaining the situation to a clearly increasingly worried Zhu. Eventually, she finally revealed that one of the issues was a tweet in which Zhu declared that the majority of black deaths are caused by other black citizens.
DeJack also sent Zhu an email demanding that she return her crown and sash, as well as remove any mention of having participated in MWA from all of her social media.
The organization also took issue with an incident in which Zhu refused to allow an activist to put a hijab on her head during an event on campus. Zhu responded by saying that “what is ‘insensitive’ is that women in the Middle East are getting STONED TO DEATH for refusing to obey their husband’s orders to wear hijabs. A Muslim woman tried to FORCIBLY put a hijab on my head without my permission. I tweeted about it on my social media, and it got the attention of the media. Almost everyone was supportive of me refusing to be put in that situation.”
Following her refusal to wear the hijab, angry Twitter users had attempted to get the Chinese-American student expelled from her university.
“Are the people in MWA implying that they advocate for the punishment of women who refuse to wear a hijab?” Zhu asked DeJack.
Zhu refused to back down or bow before them throughout her email response.
“I am completely disheartened by this situation. I was so excited to represent the state of Michigan and advocate for ‘don’t be afraid to speak your truth’ as my main statement. For them to take my title away due to right-leaning tweets shows that they only want pageant girls to have brainless statements like ‘world peace’ and not meaningful ideals that would actually make a difference,” Zhu told The Gateway Pundit.
NOT GUILTY!
It’s 2019 and the campus thing happened in 2016?
That’s how they destroy good people. May these leftists burn in hell.
So, the left hates Asian women? Oh wait, she’s conservative so that’s ok... /sarc
Yep
But I bet that if she said that Trump was the cause of so many black deaths, she’d be praised for her bravery.
Miss World America is a racist organization. Laurie DeJack is a racist. Only white people can be racist, remember, so Zhu by definition cannot be racist. Chinese people are plain-spoken and do not suffer fools gladly. Could this be insensitive? Maybe.
Wow. A great downstater.
Seems if gays can sue bakers and florists, she can certainly sue the pageant.
She is right, Most black murders are committed by other blacks.
That is a fact so it will obviously be ignored by the media.
Two points:
First, we really shouldn’t wish for that for anyone.
Notwithstanding the first point: give it time. Things will happen and this is hardly as bad as they’ll yet be.
They took her crown because she refused to wear a rag.
There is nothing American about a hijab.
The hijab is a symbol of the most backwards, oppressive cult regime to walk the face of the earth.
” . . . as well as remove any mention of having participated in MWA from all of her social media.”
I hope she asked ‘Miss World America’ the location of the memory hole they use - I’m not sure that Ingsoc will grant her access to theirs at the Ministry of Truth.
MOST DEFINITELY!
Very... very hittable.
Very well written; bears repeating:
“There is nothing American about a hijab.”
“The hijab is a symbol of the most backwards, oppressive cult regime to walk the face of the earth.”
If that damned head rag is so all fired important, why doesn’t that other muslim “squad” member, the “Palestinian” wear one?
