'I am not racist!' Trump-loving beauty queen, 20, hits back after being stripped of Miss Michigan title one DAY after she was crowned over 'offensive' tweets about hijabs and black-on-black gun violence

A conservative Michigan woman claims she was dismissed from the Miss World America pageant because her tweets about black-on-black gun vi...

A conservative Michigan woman claims she was dismissed from the Miss World America pageant because her tweets about black-on-black gun violence and refusing to try on a hijab were deemed 'offensive, insensitive and inappropriate.' 
Political commentator Kathy Zhu, 20, revealed Thursday that she had received an email from Miss World American pageant organizers informing her that she had been dumped from the contest, in which she had been crowned Miss Michigan, due to her social media content.  
In the email, which Zhu tweeted, the University of Michigan student was supposedly told that her 'social media accounts contain offensive, insensitive and inappropriate content' and were 'in violation of MWA's Rules and Conditions, specifically the contest requirement of "being of good character and whose background is not likely to bring into disrepute Miss World America."'

She was also instructed to remove any mentions or pictures of herself representing Miss World America. 
Zhu tweeted that 'Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive. They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and "insensitive" statistical tweets.'  
'I have seen this happen before,' Zhu, a Donald Trump fan, told the Detroit Free Press on Thursday, adding that 'It is just not okay to be prejudiced against people who just have a different political view as you.' 
The first tweet that Zhu believes led to her being dropped from the pageant was from 2018, when she was a student at University of Central Florida. On the campus' World Hijab Day, she said that she opted not to try on a hijab when the offer was made. 
Instead, according to the Detroit Free Press, she took to Twitter, writing 'So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?'
Before her title was taken away from her and she told she couldn't represent the pageant anymore, she had been preparing to compete in the preliminaries and finals

The second tweet, Zhu said, was a response to another Twitter user, in which Zhu wrote 'Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community before blaming others.'  
Zhu deleted both tweets at some point. 
She said that her tweet about women getting 'used to being oppressed under Islam' was meant to be a comment on how 'there are so many women in Middle Eastern countries that are being punished and stoned for refusing to wear a hijab.' 
As to the 'black deaths' tweet, Zhu said, that the sentiment applied to 'every community' and that people need to 'fix things in your own community before lashing out at others and trying to find an issue there.'
She added that what 'It is not a problem against black people. Obviously I am not racist or stuff like that.' 
On Twitter Thursday, Zhu wrote, 'Someone called me an islamophobic for not wanting to put on a hijab. Someone called me a racist because I recognize that black people kill more blacks than police do. Good luck to those who are as gullible as this.'
She noted that Miss World America didn't provide a clear enough definition of what 'insensitive' means and that she still doesn't believe she had made any insensitive posts. 


Zhu told Yahoo! Lifestyle that Miss World America is 'not letting people that represent another side of the story represent them.
'They only want someone to say things that people want to hear. And there’s a lot of things in this world that it’s hard to hear, but it’s the truth,' she added. 
Despite tweeting under the username @PoliticalKathy, Zhu told Yahoo that she was not planning to use her social media platforms to promote her conservative political views, but just to encourage people to speak out for whatever they believe in. 
But, in being released from the pageant, she said, she isn't being given the opportunity to prove it.  
'It’s not even about a crown or a pageant,' Zhu said. 'It’s about the fact that people really do discriminate against people with conservative views.'
Popular and prominent conservatives have come to Zhu's defense on social media. 
'This is insane. @MissWorldLtd Beauty Queen @PoliticalKathy stripped of her Miss Michigan title for...being a CONSERVATIVE? Unbelievable. #stopthebias,' singer Joy Villa tweeted. 
'Yet another example of #Magaphobia,' wrote One America News host Jack Posobiec.  
Miss World America has not commented on the situation yet.

  1. If that's the lesson, your getting a bad education. If you have something to say, don't let anyone stop you.

  3. How many Muslums &Jews were told to wear CROSSES?
    Did the Muslums have to wear yamulkas?
    Did the Jews wear hijabs?

  4. that should be a big fat lesson to everybody;
    keep your stupid pea-brain mouth shut especially on the social media.

  5. Make a big thing of it and boycott every company that sponsors Miss World America.
    Of course she is totally wrong on the Hijab BS.
    No women have been punished or 'stoned' for not wearing the Hijab.
    She is wrong to equate non-police deaths to police deaths, more whites are killed by whites than by police, it is irrelevant.
    However she was competing for beauty pageant not who wants to be a millionaire.

  6. ...nope. I disagree. But you do have to be willing to stand behind what you've said or believe, and accept the fallout. I use Social Media to challenge every stupid, criminal or unconstitutional action idea or movement. When you get suspended, wait and go back on...or go back on under another assumed name. Keep using their platforms against them in the most negative manner possible. Dig up stories and stats that show how corrupt they are and what they are doing with your data. Crucify them again and again by promoting their non-censoring-competitors, and by use those sites as well. Use their tools against them, create so many fake users that the advertisers get ripped off, find out they've been ripped off...and sue the site! Create so many fake users, that when law enforcement or the corrupt government wants to track someone down, 5 out of 10 accounts are faked! And their data is useless. Make them keep track of trillions of bits of data per-day... 99.99999999999999% of which is useless! Ha!

  10. you're problem is you don't like her opinion that's backed up by facts. Do you really need the crime stats charts posted again or does your blackness not allow you to admit a truth.

  13. Her point is the insane rate difference. And yes they have been beaten and jailed for showing their face in public. Theocracy of any kind brings the shortest out of people

  14. Please provide any source for beating and jailing of women for failing to wear the veil or Hijab.
    The only enforcement is in some parts of Afghanistan and in Mosques or other religious areas is it mandatory. Elsewhere you may be stared at, like wearing a bikini in downtown Manhattan or even berated but not jailed or beaten.
    Just like the USA.
    ***
    ... other New Jersey towns also empower police officers to enforce morality and modesty upon pedestrians.

    In Ocean City, NJ, the law states, “It shall be unlawful for any person to travel in or upon any of the streets, alleys, or public boardwalk of the City in abbreviated bathing robes, suits or other costumes of a similar nature unless a suitable robe or covering from the shoulders to the knees shall be worn over the abbreviated robes or suits, to properly cover the person from the public view.”

  18. Your only examples are several years old and do not apply to all women or at all times.
    The woman in question was not going without a headscarf but deliberately removed it as a protest and invited the police to charge her under laws that were 30 years old and not enforced.
    If you had visited Iran you would know that there is no problem with women going without a headscarf and no requirement for Hijab or Abaya.
    In Saudi, muslim women must "be modest", non muslims have no requirements at all, but may be verbally abused :

    Women are more likely to be abused in certain streets of New York or Los Angeles.
    Your ignorance is so provincial, you really should get out more.
    And your Saudi princess :-
    brother :
    Waleed Mohammed al-Shehri (Arabic: وليد الشهري‎, WalÄ«d ash-ShehrÄ«, also transliterated as Alshehri) (December 20, 1978[1] – September 11, 2001) was one of five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, which was crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center as part of the September 11 attacks in 2001.

    Born in Saudi Arabia, Shehri had been a student until he accompanied his mentally ill brother to Medina. He later went to fight in Chechnya along with his brother Wail, but was redirected to Afghanistan, where he was recruited for the attacks.

    Shehri arrived in the United States in April 2001 on a tourist visa. On September 11, 2001, Waleed along with his brother, Wail, boarded American Airlines Flight 11 and was one of five that helped hijack it, so that Mohamed Atta could fly the plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

    Malak herself :- Al-Shehri doesn’t know why her husband, Ayman Al-Drees, and a group of his friends are now in prison, and why a number of women’s rights activists have been rounded up in the past 13 months. “Me, my husband, this group, we were part of the people who had hope,”

    Now in the United States, Al-Shehri is doing what she can. This May she spoke at the PEN America Literary Gala at which three activists Nouf Abdulaziz, Loujain Al-Hathloul, and Eman Al-Nafjan were honored with the human rights group’s Barbey Freedom to Write Award.

    Guess what, she is a revolutionary who with her family is trying to overthrow the Saudi government.

  19. how's three month ago Karen. I'm guessing you're a Karen since you're in a spin class.

    it is still against the law especially in Saudi arabia to go out with your head uncovered or talk to men.
    As for the hijackimgs when half of the men showed up alive in there own countries I'd say that's bullshit son but that propaganda you buy right.
    Ooh look here's proof women are safer in New York than anywhere.

  21. That should be a big fat lesson to everybody. We don't live in American anymore but instead a country where you cannot speak freely. We are a dictatorship of the mob and James ha is happy with that.

  22. You are lying. It is only against the Muslim religion and the rule applies to Muslim women only.
    "In October 2013, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah announced his intention to impose Penal Code from the Sharia law on the country's Muslims, which make up roughly two thirds of the country's population."
    I understand Brunei, it is a big supporter of the US and is protected and supported by the US.
    You are the idiot.
    Saudi Arabia :-
    'Women in Saudi Arabia need not wear headcover or the black abaya - the loose-fitting, full-length robes symbolic of Islamic piety - as long as their attire is “decent and respectful”, the kingdom’s reform-minded crown prince said.'
    'enforced a strict dress code requiring Saudi women to wear abayas ' not western foreigners.
    'Compounds have everything on-site such as restaurants, bowling alleys, dry cleaners, grocery stores, golf courses, salons, soccer fields and gyms. There are various activities to choose from that closely mirror what’s available in the Western world and, for the most part, people wear what they like.'
    'Women In Tehran Will No Longer Be Arrested For Not Wearing A Hijab. '

    New York :-
    'Hasidic men are the drivers in the Williamsburg community; women are forbidden to drive or to ride bicycles.'
    'A 51-year-old woman told cops a group of teenage girls came up to her in a city-owned building in downtown Brooklyn, spat on her and whacked her in the head before calling her a 'terrorist' '
    'NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Police are searching for five men who they said are wanted for sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman in a Brooklyn park. It happened Thursday night in Osborn ...'
    Idiot.

  23. Hahaha your whole argument is the government said it doesn't discriminate against women. Followed by
    'enforced a strict dress code requiring Saudi women to wear abayas ' not western foreigners.
    'Compounds have everything on-site such as restaurants, bowling alleys, dry cleaners, grocery stores, golf courses, salons, soccer fields and gyms. There are various activities to choose from that closely mirror what’s available in the Western world and, for the most part, people wear what they like.'

    litteraly saying they do it just not to visitors who can enjoy western things in a walled off compound.
    completely dismissing police and an entire population enforcing these laws while your counter narrative is one woman got assaulted and the police are actively searching for them to punish them.

    you're pathetic at best. Ooh but a couple jews were assholes too. Yes that really shows how theocracy is a Bastion of hHuman Rights huh.

  24. Replace your cranium back into your rectum and carry on.
    Your view of the world is so distorted as to be full of shit.
    You do not understand the difference between religious observance, social norms and laws.
