Paromita Mitra

Mitra's claim to fame seems to be "the first Bangladeshi to win Miss Mississippi USA". This is close to the most odd first I have ever come across. Bangladeshi's are a very small part of Mississippi's population. Significantly less than 0.1%. It is hard to place, but they are part of the "other Asian" population, that also includes other groups. The Chinese in Mississippi have gotten a lot of coverage, partly because they have been there since about 1870. I was also able to dig up some stuff on-line about the Vietnamese community in Mississippi that dates to the 1970s, but nothing else. Doing an actual source for sources on Mitra was looking promising, I found links to the Chicago Tribune and the LA Times. It turned out these links were just to photos of her. So we have bascially no coverage of her beyond what is in the article, and that is far too little to establish notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:38, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
