Miss New York has become the first Miss America of Asian descent. Nina Davuluri of Syracuse won the crown last night in Atlantic City. The Philadelphia Inquirer says the 24-year-old’s pageant platform was “Celebrating Diversity Through Cultural Competency.” The Miss America pageant returned to its Atlantic City roots for the first time since 2005.
