4 | New York's 24-year old Nina Davuluri made history last night by becoming the first American of Indian descent to win the coveted Miss America title. | Voasoratra amin'ny tantara amin'ny maha-Amerikana voalohany taranaka Karana nandrombaka ny Oliravina Amerika azy ilay tovovavy 24 taona misolo tena an'i New York antsoina hoe Nina Davuluri. |
5 | But now she has found herself at the receiving end of a slew of racist comments online, proving that beauty, for many, remains merely skin-deep. | Kanefa ankehitriny izy voafelafelaky ny hafatra feno fanavakavahana [rasista] eny amin'ny tambajotra sosialy, manaporofo fa ny hatsarana, ho an'ny maro, dia mbola mitoetra ho raharahan'ny volonkoditra. |
6 | Ironically, because many did not know her actual heritage, comments and tweets vented ire against Arabs, Africans and Muslims, in addition to Indians. | Mampihomehy moa fa noho ny tsy fahafantaran'ny maro izay fiaviany, dia miantefa any amin'ny Arabo, Afrikana ary Silamo, ankoatra ny Indiana [Karana] ny hafatra sy tweets feno fahatezerana. |
7 | There were also references to terrorism and 9/11. | Dia misy ihany koa ny mampifandray azy amin'ny raharaha 11 septambra sy ny fampihorohoroana. |
8 | Davuluri has brushed off the stream of online racism, saying she prefers to “rise above that” and that she has always considered herself “first and foremost American”. | Tsy raharahian'i Davuluri ny fisasasasan'ny fanavakavahana eny amin'ny serasera, milaza izy fa naleony “mitsangana ambonin'izany” ary nihevitra ny tenany ho “amerikanina voalohany sy hatramin'ny taloha” hatrany izy. |
9 | In this YouTube video by the Miss America Organization in the run up to the Miss America 2014 pageant, Davuluri speaks of her upbringing and the fact that New York, which she represented in the pageant, is essentially a multicultural hotpot. | Ao amin'ito Horonan-tsary YouTube nataon'ny Fikambanana Oliravina Amerika nandritra ny fifanintsanana Oliravina Etazonia 2014 ito no nilazan'i Davuluri ny fitaizana azy sy ny zavamisy fa i New York izay isoloany tena dia akanin'ny kolontsaina marolafy. |
10 | While Davuluri may not have been provoked by the racist comments, others have pushed back. | Raha tsy nampihontsina an'i Davuluri ny fanehon-kevitra manavakavaka, ny hafa no tena nanohitra. |
11 | In India too, there is a lot of discussion about Davaluri's win, making it a trending topic of the day. | Hatrany India dia maro be ireo ady hevitra mikasika ny fandresen'i Davaluri, mahantonga azy ho lohahevitra nironana nandritra ny andro. |
12 | Curiously, netizens in India have been divided in their opinion of the new Miss America. | Mahavariana fa nisara-kevitra ny mpiserasera tany India momba ity Oliravina Amerika vaovao ity. |
13 | On the one hand, there was a lot of support for Nina Davuluri and anger at the racist comments that have been dogging her victory. | Etsy andaniny, maro ny fanohanana an'i Nina Davuluri sy ny fahatezerana ao amin'ny fanehoa-kevitra feno fanavakavahana izay nanamaloka ny fandreseny. |
14 | On the other hand, a section of netizens debated whether Davuluri would have ever have won a beauty pageant in India, given the country's fetish with fair skin. | Etsy ankilany, mafana ny adi-hevitra raha mety hahazo fandresena amin'ny fifaninanana hatsaran-tarehy ao India i Davuluri noho ny fitiavan'ny firenena tafahoatra ny volonkoditra mazava. |

17 | Food blogger and nutritionist Nandita Iyer (@saffrontrail) pointed out how many of the people making racist comments were not even aware of the differences between Arabs and Indians. | Navohitran'ilay mpibilaogy momba ny sakafo sady mpisahana momba ny fatran-tsakafo Nandita Iyer (@saffrontrail) ny hamaroan'ireo fanehoa-kevitra mpanavakava-bolonkoditra tsy mahalala ny mahasamihafa ny Arabo sy ny Karana. |

21 | Free boil for my blood and disrespect for stupid “Americans”, this #MissAmerica issue. Some heartening exceptions though. | Mampangotraka ny rà-ko sy tsy fanajana ho an'ireto “Amerikanina” adala ireto amin'ny resaka #MissAmerica. |
22 | - Siddhartha R Thota (@tweetingsid) September 16, 2013 | Misy ihany ny sasany miavaka na izany aza |
23 | His anger found resonance with Ankita Singh (@VaanarMukhi) who commented via tweet | Nisy akony tany amin'i Ankita Singh (@VaanarMukhi) izay nilaza ny heviny tamin'ny tweet ny fahatezerany |
24 | I'm sure the people making jokes on Nina Davuluri have the sharpest of features and they are the fairest ones there are. | |
25 | - Ankita Singh (@VaanarMukhi) September 16, 2013 Gyanonymous pointed out the hypocrisy embedded in the racist comments through this tweet: | Tena matoky aho fa manana hatsaram-bika sy volon-koditra tena madio ireo ny olona manivaiva an'i Nina Davuluri ireo |
26 | It's funny how the world sun-bathes to get a brown tan. | Nasongadin'i Gyanonymous ny fihatsarambelatsihy mifikitra ao anatin'io sioka mpanavakava-bolonkoditra io: |
27 | And then they hypocritically attack brown skinned Nina Davuluri (Miss America 2014) | Mahatsikaiky ny mahita ny olona maneratany mitanin'andro hanamatromatroka ny volon-kodiny. |
28 | - Gyanonymous (@ASShishism) September 16, 2013 | Kanefa ireo ihany no manejika ny volokoditr'i Nina Davuluri (Oliravina Etazonia 2014) |
29 | Too dark-skinned for India? | Mainty Hoditra loatra raha any India? |
30 | Davuluri's dark skin was the focus of many. | Nahasarika ny maro ny hamaintin'i Davuluri. |
31 | In one tweet, journalist and author Samar Halarnkar (@samar11) wondered: | Nanontany tao Amin'ny Tweet iray ny mpanao gazety sady mpanoratra Samar Halarnkar (@samar11) : |
32 | Interesting. | Mahaliana. |
33 | “Dusky” Indian-American becomes Ms America but would she ever make it in India? http://t.co/MZsmcyw9E5 | Indiana-Amerikanina “matroka” lasa Rtoakely America mba nahavita toy izany ve izy raha tany India? http://t.co/MZsmcyw9E5 |
34 | - Samar Halarnkar (@samar11) September 16, 2013 Kushan Mitra echoed the sentiment in his tweet: | Kushan Mitra nanako ny fihetseham-pony tao amin'ny sioka iray: |
35 | The question is whether a girl as dark as Nina Davuluri could possibly have won Miss India? | Ny fanontaniana dia hoe mety handrombaka amin'ny Oliravina India ve ny tovovavy mainty tahaka an'i Nina Davuluri? |
36 | Knowing our fascination for fairness, maybe not! - Kushan Mitra (@kushanmitra) September 16, 2013 | Raha ny fahafantarako ny fitiavantsika ny rariny [volonkoditra fotsy], Angamba tsy mety! |
37 | Writer and columnist Salil Tripathi (@saliltripathi) wondered along the same lines, reminded by this article in FirstPost that ‘dusky' skinned models and actresses in India often underwent “colour adjustments” before they got accepted. | Nisaina izany eritreritra izany ihany koa ilay mpanoratra sy mpanao matoandahatsoratra Salil Tripathi (@saliltripathi), nampahatsiahivin'ity lahatsoratra ao amin'ny FirstPost hoe matetika no “manitsy ny lokon-koditra ny mpilatro sy mpiantsehatra “matroka” mialoha ny hanekena azy. |
38 | To win Miss India, I guess the new Miss America would have had to use Fair and Lovely, as @ElChaudhry reminds us: http://t.co/nJ6W1EEamv | Angamba nampiasa Fair and Lovely mihitsy ny Oliravina Amerikana hahazoany ny Oliravina India, araka ny nampahatsiahivin'i @ElChaudhry antsika: http://t.co/nJ6W1EEamv |
39 | - Salil Tripathi (@saliltripathi) September 16, 2013 | |
40 | There were still others who used humour to underline the fact that Ms. Davuluri was indeed dark complexioned and not the quintessential (white-skinned) American. | Misy hatrany moa ny mananihany sy mampivohitra fa matroka volonkoditra manahirana Rtoakely Davuluri fa tsy fotsy volonkoditra maha-tena Amerikanina. |
41 | For example, stand-up comedian Atul Khatri (@one_by_two) tweeted: | Ni-tweet toy izany, ohatra, ilay mpanao hatsikana mampitsangana Atul Khatri (@one_by_two): |
42 | Hey you guys sure Nina Davuluri won Miss. America and not Miss. Africa ?? | Tena marina ve ry zalahy fa Nina Davuluri no nandrombaka ny Oliravina Etazonia fa tsy Oliravina Afrika?? |

44 | - Atul Khatri (@one_by_two) September 16, 2013 | Fahatsaran-tarehy mampisy fihantsiana |
45 | Challenging notions of beauty However, a section of netizens celebrated the winner and saw this as another milestone to champion “Dark is Beautiful”. | Na izany aza, misy ampahan'ny mpiserasera nankalaza ny mpandresy ary mahita azy ity ho fanohanana manan-danjan'ny fifanentanana “Manja ny Mainty” hafa koa [“Dark is Beautiful”] |
46 | From Mysore, author and blogger Ratna Rajaiah (@alphabetiya) tweeted: | Tweet avy amin'i Mysore, Mpanoratra sady blaogera Ratna Rajaiah (@alphabetiya) : |
47 | if my eyes serve me right, Nina Davuluri is a dark-skinned girl, no? | raha tsy diso ny fijeriko, vehivavy mainty i Nina Davuliri , sa tsia? |
48 | Take that, Fair&Lovely | Raiso izany, Fair&Lovely |
