Are you talking about Miss USA or Miss America?
If you're talking about Miss America 2001 Angela Perez Baraquio..then I take offense to that. Not only because I'm buddies with Angie's little bro...but because she's a good role model for all of the country to follow. Just because she's not blonde and buxom like most beauty pageant queens doesn't make her less attractive.
To also touch up on the Asian beauty queen subject--you can't forget about Miss Teen USA 1985 Kelly Hu (she's on Martial Law now I think) and Miss Universe 1997 Brook Mahealani Lee were both of some Asian descent. In fact, when Brook visited Korea, Korean TV did a whole show on Brook's family line tracing back to her Korean roots.
