BTW Miss USA Rachel Smith is from my home town, and we are very proud of her

Miss USA Rachel Smith, who slipped and fell to the floor during the evening gown competition and was jeered by the Mexican audience during the interview phase

Our good friends to the south...

I heard & saw this on FOX this AM...

...I think she slipped because she was unnerved by the BOOING of the Mexican crowd.

How rude!

She's a lovely girl, btw.

Apparently Rachel was jeered and booed by the mexican audience.

[Tolsti]

Is there a term for ‘ugly mexican’ yet? They chant osama during games against the usa, and this now.

Freaks.

Miss USA Rachel Smith, who slipped and fell to the floor .......... was jeered by the Mexican audience

How touching !

[DManA]

I can confirm that.

[apocalypto]

I will avoid going to Mexico or buy their products. This is not a lone incident. There was also the soccer match and the demonstrations with Mexican flags in this country (they were told to skip the flags afterwards, but the message remained the same).

Yet President George W. Bush wants to Mexicanize this country.

[TLI]

They chant osama during games against the USA, and this now. Freaks.

Actually, I see them as being so stupid and arrogant that they actually do bite the hand that is feeding them.

Certainly Mexico is no France but I certainly will not vacation in Mexico until they learn better manners (which will likely not happen any time soon).

My daughter went to Greece and Italy for a school trip. Another school trip went to France. My daughter told her friends that I would never let her go on a trip to France (she is right, of course).

My little stand against boorish countries.

[WildcatClan]

My main concern is that we send some back to Mexico to join the ‘boo and jeer’ crowd, next year. What a classy country.

[Kaslin]

She is, and we are proud of her

From our local newspaper

Smith finishes fourth runner-up

[Riptides]

Miss USA was booed and jeered by the Mexicans.
I have no sympathy for these ungrateful people. They can all rot in Mexico.

[Kaslin]

She was jeered and booed because she spoke in English.

From now on when I see a Mexican family and they only speak Spanish and the children answer back in Spanish I am going to yell at them to either speak English or go back to where they came from

[xp38]

Since the Miss Universe pageant is an American owned entity by Donald Trump I think....I doubt it will be returning to Mexico any time soon.

[aft_lizard]

No she was jeered and booed because the audience felt she didn’t belong in the top five after slipping and falling.

[Kaslin]

[Guenevere]

And you know this because?
