Would people making fun of her be called racists?

By Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, yes.
I would hope that other people are smarter than that.

You’re pulling race into this issue in order to try to defend her. It is totally inapplicable and inappropriate. Don’t try to deflect by using this as an opportunity to say something with a racial bias.
When South Carolina has a Miss Teen South Carolina who is black and who has a verbal meltdown answering a question, we’ll see. In other words, this question is so extremely hypothetical and speculative that it is meaningless.
BTW, I think she was just nervous and that such an unfortunate incident could happen to many people under the circumstances. I don’t think anyone should be making fun of her.

Sometimes I just don't know how we manage to pick on the one stupid thing the child does and bash her for eternity.
No matter where that teen goes or what she does, her one moment of excitement and loss of focus will follow her.
Seventy years from now, her obituary will read, "A former Miss Teen USA, she thoroughly botched a simple question and gained infamy on youtube."
Even if she gets to be president.
And your question regarding racism is at least as silly as her answer was, and you aren't standing on a stage in front of thousands and TV cameras.

The young lady while certainly very attractive, needs to spend some time working on her answers. I don't think race was an issue here, being prepared for what it was she was attempting to do (in this case answer a pretty simple question) is the issue.

Are you kidding? We live in a country where "Ebonics" was going to be taught in public schools! Not only would they be called racist they would probably be burned at the stake!

Since when has South Carolina ever had a black "Miss Teen"?
That state was the first cesspool of treason to fire on America in 1861 and remains an abomination against freedom to this day!
P.S. I have $100 that says that bimbo can beat GW Bush in any debate anywhere, anytime!

There's nothing racist about calling an idiot an idiot. Maybe Jesse Jackson would call me a racist, but I can handle it.
God Bless America!

No, if she were black, would you find it to be any more or less acceptable to make fun of her?
