Mexicans don’t likey America no more:
Booed mercilessly at the Miss Universe pageant by a Mexican audience angry at U.S. immigration policy, and seen by millions of TV viewers as she slipped and fell on the pageant stage, Miss USA Rachel Smith nonetheless managed to take the high road and offer her Spanish-speaking hosts an enthusiastic, “Buenas noches Mexico. Muchas gracias!â€
Smith, 22, from Clarksville, Tenn., who was crowned Miss USA last March, was continuously jeered by the mostly Mexican audience during the pageant’s interview phase.
Pageant spokeswoman Lark-Marie Anton told Miss USA not to feel bad about the booing. After all, the crowd hates America (her country), not her: “We believe it wasn’t Rachel being booed but the USA and some of our policies as a country. The booing was unfortunate, but Rachel represented the USA with style and grace. She was extremely dignified.â€
