[Vikrant]

...

She noted that one's diversity should be celebrated and that she was personally opposed to plastic surgery to alter an ethnic appearance. That seemed to impress the judges and the audience, which gave her rousing cheers and applause.

One question: why would a pageant judge say this contestant's ethnicity is "a bonus"? This about who's the best....or is it political correctness again? Remarks like that, make one wonder.

I don't care about her ethnicity, but in pictures I've seen she looks a little pudgy. Apparently she lost weight, but I still think she's kind of fat. Now, I struggle to keep my weight under control, too, so I understand how challenging that can be. But if you're going to be Miss America I think you should have it under control and keep it under control. Not sure if she'll succeed at that.

No...........
I seen her pictures from that link and the other contestants ............ she's the most fuckable, thus she won fair & square.

Just out of curiosity ............ what ethnic features is she referring to?

They most certainly do...in the PC world we inhabit these days.

Meh. There hasn't been an attractive Miss America in like, forever. It's a sham. "Women" are too skinny and have too much testosterone imo.

I'm just glad the tatted up one didn't win.

Chelsie Handler was hilarious last night. She said the pageant had the tattooed, one armless contestant and one in a bikini with a leg brace. She said it was like the Sons of Anarchy meets the Special Olympics. She said the winner is of Indian parentage and so Americans did what America does best. They tweeted ignorant racist tweets.

Not that I care who won, but the tattooed lady is a army sergeant. That makes the tats OK by me.

Admittedly your "logic" (such as it is), frequently eludes me; but this time I have to ask; what is it about someone serving in the military that makes the tats "OK by you"? Is there some necessary connection between military service and tattoos? Is there some new regulation I don't know about? I was not aware there was any difference between a service member having tattoos, and a permanent civilian having them. Kindly explain; I'm just not seeing a connection here....

 

[Asclepias]

LOL at all the racists coming unhinged at Miss America having some flavor! Thats a shame people are that ignorant to attack her on twitter with racist comments.

 

[Misty]

And shame on Chelsea handler for mocking the special Olympics. She's not even funny.

I respect her service, not her choice to tat though.
Tats on women look trashy.
A small one in a special place is one thing, but large ones like I'm seeing more and more of make women look like skanks.

Miss Congeniality was a funneh moveh.

 

[AceRothstein]

This is only controversial to racists and/or idiots.

She is smokin'! Did you all grow up in the 40's?

She is funny...but she should've left the Special Olympics out of it.

She's pretty damn hot. Cover up that tattoo and she'd be even hotter.

Miss South Carolina dips her toe in;

Miss SC's introduction at Miss America Pageant upsets some in ho - WBTW-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Florence, SC

The Miss America contestants were supposed to come up with a catchy or funny way to introduce themselves at the start of the pageant. When it was Miss South Carolina's turn, she said, "From the state where 20 percent of our homes are mobile 'cause that's how we roll, I'm Brooke Mosteller, Miss South Carolina."

I'm sure she'd be devastated to hear that you might not be interested in getting it on with her because she doesn't meet your standards.
