Nice cherry picking

So you found 9 Muslim beauty pageant winners, and somehow that's affirmative action? If you're digging eleven years back to find "winners" in such places as Nottingham and Picardie, there were several thousand contests eligible for inclusion in your research. A few tenths of a percent or maybe even half a percent Muslim winners doesn't sound too bad to me.
