Down Syndrome Woman competes in Miss USA beauty pagent

[Billy_Kinetta]

Down's are great. I've worked with Down's kids.

Hell, you post on message boards with them.

Those aren't Down's, but Dems.

Down's kids run rings around them.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

you're not proving anything besides siding with your own executioner.

Pot, meet kettle.

Go to Iran or Saudi Arabia and pretend you're a woman. See how long you last.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Of course she's not beautiful. She's beautiful for someone with Down's Syndrome and received sympathy awards the same way the tranny will always, always, win Prom Queen.

However, it is a big slap upside the head to those who want to kill Down's Syndrome children and for that, it's perfect.

Beauty is skin deep, someone can be beautiful on the inside. Most Downs are.

Down's are great. I've worked with Down's kids.

But interior beauty is not the criteria of these contests. As with any awards program, sympathy applied outside of the contest criteria cheats someone.

Well yeah inner beauty and talent is. Typical male thinking

Mea culpa, being quite typical in that department.

The op also included girls in wheel chairs, one of our adopted daughters is in a chair, is she a lesser person due to it? She should be exculded from certain events because of it?

Hmmm?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

It's good to be nice to people, it's not good to lie to people.


she never had a chance of winning, so the other contestants that could have gotten those awards get nothing for a life time of work b/c 'fairness'.

Yes. This almost comes across as mocking her.

Hmmm?

Yes, she absolutely should be excluded from many events because of it. Your adopted daughter will never be an olympic pole vaulter. We might give her a medal for pole vaulting just cause, just cause that's what we do for the inadequate.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Wtf is wrong with you people? She's beautiful and talented.

Good grief

you didn't go into the link, but if you did, you're lying.

I went, small minded people will insult this young woman. Very small minded people.

Nobody's insulting her. She can't help it if she's not Kate Upton. If somebody said I shouldn't compete in the Mr Universe contest, should I be offended?

Sit down. She already competes, she chair races, she debates at HS level and she confronts her disability head on. A pagent is not something she should be excluded from if she desired too....the same goes for this girl with Downs. Does our daughter have limitations? Yes...a huge one is small minded people such as yourself.

The criteria
Competition Rules

The winner of the competition must be confident. She must understand the values of our brand and the responsibilities of the title. She must have the ability to articulate her ambition. A contestant should demonstrate authenticity, credibility and exhibit grace under pressure. The women who compete embody the modern, global aspiration for the potential within all women.

Each competition begins with preliminary interviews that include a swimsuit or athletic wear and evening gown presentation show. These preliminary events are especially important as it will be the first time the judges and fans really get to know the contestants. The preliminary competition is the driving force in selecting the Semifinalists.

The live show and final competition kicks off with an announcement of the Semifinalists. Each of these contestants will walk the runway during the swimsuit or athletic wear segment displaying her dedication to a healthy lifestyle.

The semifinalists move on to the second stage of the competition during the evening gown segment. The judges and fans will see the contestants’ personal style as they walk the stage in their evening gown of choice. However, the exact design of the gown does not count towards the total score and instead the judges focus on how confidently each woman presents herself.

Who We Are
The Miss Universe Organization empowers women to develop the confidence they need to achieve their personal best. A confident woman has the power to make real change, starting in her local community with the potential to reach a global audience. We encourage every woman to get out of her comfort zone, be herself, and continue to define what it means to be Confidently Beautiful."

Yeah, but here's the thing. They're looking for all that in a woman who's drop-dead gorgeous.

There are insults to her in this thread. Fail

 

[Sunni Man]

It's called the Miss USA beauty pageant, an organized event to show the epitome of female beauty.

Anything outside of that parameter is just a side show distraction and doesn't belong. .....

I'm afraid I am not a fan of inclusivity in all things. For example, Danny DeVito should be excluded from the Mr. Universe contest.

[MarathonMike]

For better or worse we have a basically agreed upon standard for physical beauty. Downs Syndrome does not fit that physical standard. Sunni Man is right they need a Special beauty contest just like there are Challenger Little Leagues and Special Olympics.
