miss india of NZ?  ok.  but they chose wrong

Maybe it’s only me but I get the feeling we are living in a world of chaos.  I don’t want to take sides and after all, it’s simply a beauty contest but.

Surely the young lady can look in a mirror and understand why a few people are critical. OK, I guess under the rules the blond is Indian. Somewhat.
But she sure doesn’t fit the type we expect of that group.  Based on the photo I don’t think stunning applies to her either.  Whooops. I think I just stepped over the line and took a side.  Can’t help favoring the young lady on the right with the dark skin and hair and beautiful brown eyes.  The one who really looks Indian.
I don’t think she should have been booed, but she’s wrong to suggest that people shouldn’t voice their opinion.  Gee, could she be a liberal?
She surely had a right to enter. I guess she qualifies.

Just a bit nothing I thought worth the time cos it seemed somehow out of place.

Row over blonde-haired, blue-eyed Miss India beauty contestant ... who ‘doesn’t look Indian enough’

By Daily Mail Reporter

Her stunning looks won her a coveted title in New Zealand’s Miss India contest.

But Jacinta Lal, 21, was today at the centre of a huge row after she was accused of not looking Indian enough.

The blue-eyed blonde, whose father is Fijian-Indian and mother a New Zealander, was booed by spectators when she won the Wellington leg of the MissIndiaNZ contest.

The row comes just days after the Indian government protested to New Zealand about alleged racial slurs by TV host Paul Henry.

Miss Lal told the New Zealand Herald she had heard people say that she was not ‘Indian-looking enough to win the pageant’.

‘But despite those small-minded people that made those comments, there were many Indians who encouraged me to enter.

‘So just because some narrow-minded people make a comment like that we can’t assume that all Indians think the same way.

‘There is no difference between what Paul Henry is saying and what those select few Indians were saying. They are all wrong and should not say things like that...’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
