I'm not sure whether the Koreans and/or the Chinese bombarded her twitter page...?

Is it really that unbelievable from a model?

Also the fairer sex seem to come out with things like this quite often anyway (sorry ladies!). One of my good friends here thought that Cambodia was in Africa. Needless to say she hasn't been allowed to forget that one. Also, one Korean girl I met thought that England was physically joined to the United States Laughing

I love how it doesn't say who mocked her, but because you want to start some stupid drama you say the Koreans did it

Seriously? Go to hell.
What a retarded thing to write. Maybe I should write about all my North American male workmates who, even after numerous discussions regarding my country, still think I am from Australia? Or being asked if there are koalas in my country?
Would that allow me to write a disparaging blanket statement about all North American males?

There are women here with IQ's over 95. Maybe you should try and find them.

Sara Palin AND Miss Universe are confused about which Asian countries are which

...and since they OBVIOUSLY represent what ALL women are like...or at least what they should be like so that they don't like...have opinions or anything, they should make a carabou barbie that eats everything in sight and sell millions of them to little girls so that they can have appropriate dinner roll models.

Comparitively speaking, I'm by far the one who started the drama.

I'm outraged at your insensitive remarks about womyn. Don't you know that gender is a social construct? Your genitals are optical illusions that were engineered by the patriarchy.

I better start planning another awareness event and making posters of people of all races with their fists in the air before there's even more insensitivity.

I thought Singapore was a part of China until I was 18. Oopsy! We all have our thick moments. At least she gave her sympathy towards 'the Chinas' (you know she meant well).

Besides, she is too beautiful for anyone to critisise her. Very Happy

I would let her call me Chinese.

Most spanish-speakers I've met will pretty much call any Asian "Chinese" (chinos/chinas) in Spanish unless they have extensive experience abroad or something...it's not considered offensive (kind of like how "Paki" isn't offensive in America, and "Oriental" isn't offensive in the UK).

Might be related to a Spanish -> English error rather than her supposed stupidity.

Hmm... I can see your point, but in this case, I really think it was just brainlessness. She clearly hoped for peace between the "chinas."

It's not as retarded as saying something like, "I love China for their sushi, Toyota, Sony and Samsung"

But it's still retarded, imo.

on a side note,

Miss America is better than Miss USA. Just so happens this year Miss America went to my Alma Mater.
