in the final moments of the pageant, miss california crystal lee and miss new york nina davuluri were the last contestants left on the stage. they were approached by co-host lara spencer who asked how they were feeling at that moment. davuluri stated that she and lee were "both so proud. we’re making history right here, standing here as asian-americans.” however, shortly after davuluri was crowned miss america 2014, xenophobic and racist comments relating the proximity of the event date to the nine-eleven anniversary and to anti-indian sentiment appeared in american social media. news agencies cited tweets that misidentified her as muslim or arab, associated her with groups such as al-qaeda, and questioned why she was chosen over miss kansas theresa vail. davuluri said that she was prepared for the social media response because "as miss new york, i was called a terrorist and very similar remarks." davuluri is the second miss syracuse to win the title after miss new york 1983, vanessa lynn williams who was the first african american winner and miss america 1984. both davuluri and williams won when the pageant was held in atlantic city and both faced a backlash over their respective wins. in addition, congressperson grace meng compared davuluri to miss new york 1945, bess myerson (the first and to date only jewish-american winner and miss america 1945) who also faced bigotry during her time as miss america.
