City of Kingman vows to emphasize diversity after its residents were mocked on "Very Lowly Rated" Who Is America?

Facebook

The Arizona city responded to Sacha Baron Cohen's segment by pointing out in a statement released on Facebook that it does have a mosque and a "robust Latino community," as well as many tourists visiting from Asia. "It might be easy to laugh off what took place Sunday night on a show with very low ratings that tries to make everyone look bad," said the statement. "After all, New York City rejected a mosque not too many years ago and Scottsdale, Arizona once had a big debate over a Jewish Community Center. But shrugging this off is not going to be us. We’re going to use this opportunity to keep moving our community forward with the help of many community stakeholders including the Kingman Interfaith Council. And while we’ve been making progress the comments in the show, fairly or unfairly, show that we still have more work to do."
