The 2014 Miss America Twitter Backlash refers to the surge of xenophobic and racist commentary on social media following Nina Davuluri’s historic win as the first Indian-American Miss America. Immediately after her crowning, Twitter erupted with misinformed posts labeling her an 'Arab' or a 'terrorist,' despite her being born in New York and being of Indian descent. This event became a significant case study in internet culture, illustrating the speed of social media outrage and the prevalence of digital xenophobia. Today, the event is remembered through screenshots of the original tweets, often used in memes to critique prejudice or to mock those who struggle to understand multiculturalism in the United States.
