Re: [ALOCHONA] Fw: New Miss California of Bangladesh origin

Well she is just a teenager looking for looove!!

 

It is America for crying out loud. She can have any opinion she feels strongly about.

 

We should give credit to the people in the US for running a new "Affirmative action" plan for Muslim women. First out of the blue an Arab American was named MS. USA and now California stepped up to crown another one Miss California from Islamic "Background". All of us have to agree Muslim women are under represented in show business and glamour world. Got to say sorry to stunning beauties of San Diego for not making the cut.

 

Only in American it is possible.

New Miss California Against Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants

Newly crowned Miss California Arianna Afsar is not in the same competition as Carrie Prejean, but she may turn out to be just as controversial.

The UCLA sophomore is staunchly anti-amnesty for undocumented immigrants.

"I think that people who want to be a United States citizen need to come over here legally in order to get the privileges that every American receives," said the 18 year-old, during a webcam interview with NBCLA.

Afsar's own father is an immigrant from Bangladesh, who helped bring three relatives to the U.S legally.

"It ended up taking him 10 years, but he did it legally," said Afsar. "I don't think that if you are close to the border that you have the right to be given the rights of a United States citizen."

Afsar believes all immigrants should follow the same legal process as her father.

She was crowned Miss California in Fresno on July 10.

"I was completely sh ocked," recalls Afsar. "I'm definitely ready for the job, but I'm still a bit shocked."

Afsar should have no problem with national attention. The San Diego native was in the semi-finals of "American Idol," season eight.

Originally a judge's favorite, Afsar was praised as being "cute as a button." But her rendition of Abba's "The Winner Takes it All" prompted judge Simon Cowell to call her "absolutely terrible." Soon after, she was eliminated.

Afsar used her singing talent and her passion for helping the elderly to win the Miss California crown.

She created the "Adopt-A-Grandfriend" program in 2005, which aims at providing companionship to often lonely nursing home residents.

Afsar will take her platform, singing talents and poise to the Miss America pageant in January 2011.
