Nina Davuluri became the first contestant of Indian heritage and the second consecutive contestant fromNew York to win the Miss America pageant Sunday night.
Davuluri, 24, won the title as the nationally televised pageant returned home to Atlantic City.
She succeeds another Miss New York, Mallory Hagan, whose tenure was cut short when the pageant moved back to Atlantic City after a six-year stint in Las Vegas, where winners were chosen in January.
Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood fusion dance for her talent competition.
After the traditional frolic in the Atlantic City surf Monday morning, she will head to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside park and Seaside Heights on Monday afternoon.
Shortly after the announcement, a turid of tweets flowed in with many denouncing the event and also the person of the Queen.
One tweet read " we have a black president, now an arab queen" WTF !!!
Another said " common, one of the contestants is in the army, why didnt they crown here, shit assholes"
