Miss USA Apologizes After Mocking Miss Vietnam For Not Speaking English

[left-of-center2012]

Miss USA, Sarah Rose Summers, faced backlash after being accused of mocking two fellow Miss Universe contestants — Miss Vietnam, H’Hen Nie, and Miss Cambodia, Rern Sinat. The Miss Universe 2018 pageant is being held in Thailand.
Sarah Rose Summers said she “intended to admire the courage of a few of my sisters.”

The incident was captured in a video on the Instagram account of Miss Colombia, Valeria Morales. In the clip, Summers talks about Nie’s lack of English and imitates her in front of Morales and Miss Australia.

“She’s so cute, and she pretends to know so much English, and then you ask her a question after having a whole conversation with her, and she goes [smiles and nods],” Summers said, laughing. Summers laughed again and added, “She’s adorable.”

She then turned her attention to Sinat, saying, “Miss Cambodia is here and doesn’t speak any English. ... Not a single person here speaks her language. Can you imagine? She added, “Poor Cambodia.”

Many social media users expressed outrage over the now-viral video.
“Miss USA, do you speak any other language than your native tongue English? How is that different from Ms. Vietnam and Ms.Cambodia only speaking their own language,” one commenter wrote.

8. I was wondering what state

she's from.. but I see in the thread it's Nebraska.

Evidently she didn't learn not to mock anyone who can't speak English. So she has to learn the hard way after she was busted on tape for the whole world to see.
