I'll stop believing Miss America is about beauty when let they let somebody ugly win. And I don't mean somebody who just looks sorta bad compared to the other contestants, I mean somebody who's really ugly. Somebody who weighs 250 pounds, has buck teeth, frizzy hair, and a whole lot of moles. Somebody with a birth defect or a lot of cellulite. Hell, even somebody who wears glasses!
Yes, the women in Miss America are involved in their communities. Yes, they have great GPAs. Yes, they're well rounded people. I applaud them for that. But that doesn't change the fact that none of them - not one - would be in the pageant if she weren't attractive.
There's nothing wrong with being proud of a sister because she won a beauty pageant. But let's call a spade a spade. Her other accomplishments helped her to win, but she would not have even placed if she were not attractive.
