You people fu--ing suck!

That's pretty much any kid in the world. These are beauty pageants, not the best well-spoken politician. Even Obama who everybody views as smart and well educated said some immature things in the cameras.

I don’t expect you to come back and apologize for your completely off-base generalization, but please know that I’m every bit as unimpressed with your snark as always!

When I'm in error I can admit it. I assigned you to a cadre of "one sided" cubicle bots. I stand corrected if objectivity is indeed your position.

As to impressing you; not my motivation.

Imagine that.
Indeed. She didn't cross the "racist" line that is why I didn't say "racist" but yes the remarks were "race-related"

You'd think she's be a little more careful with what she says nowadays in public...uh a FEW DAYS BEFORE the pageant

How is "race-related" comment in this context separate from a "racist" comment?

True. Today's youth have a lot to learn about what's proper and improper to post on Social Media in the current climate.

It was insensitive, but not racist. This was NOT racist. Learn the difference.

In my experience teenage girls talk about other girls a lot more than teenage guys talk about other guys......it is what it is but nothing to ruin her life over with.
Oh absolutely.


Girls grow up eventually, no need to ruin people's life over it. Yikes!

Even if this is not a beauty pageant, girls feel like other girls are their invisible enemies lol Criticizing each other's hair, skin, boob size, you name it. If a boy found one girl to be more attractive ,that girl would be public enemy number one. sheesh.

I was in a pageant once, and all I can say is that I felt it was a test of my emotional strength. I remember one girl criticized my arms and I told her I could not imagine using concealer to hide the mole on her face every morning. I am ashamed to admit it now, but back then, image is everything to define a person. I am glad that I am no longer immature like that. What a liberation and this is what freedom feels like! lol

It was interesting to see 4 of the contestants wore no makeup at all in their pictures. Miss Argentina's photo looked more like a shapshot than a formal portrait.
She impressed me; I thought that girl was beautiful, and the rather plain quality of her photo actually showed off her natural beauty much better than if she had been all glammed-up. She had an air of confidence in it, too.

These contests are pretty useless, but the entire world still loves to see a pretty girl, and that won't ever change.

While I don't watch them, these international contests do give a lot of overlooked countries some recognition, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Miss USA's feelings of exceptionalism is nothing unusual. I think she was an idiot for saying what she did, but I don't think she was being racist, even though it came across that way to others.

No they wouldn’t as SJW’s wouldn’t have gone crazy trying to crucify this girl. This whole thing is blown out of proportion.
