Did you know that the Miss USA pageant was held this past weekend? Yeah, I didn’t either. I hate beauty pageants. They are a remnant of our more sexist past, a successor to the Southern debutante balls. I think a contest where a scholarship is awarded based on how good you look in an evening gown and a swimsuit doesn’t serve much purpose. Some people obviously care about this competition. An Arab-American Muslim woman won the Miss USA pageant and a conservative freak-out commenced.
They are all attractive, but this surprising frequency of Muslims winning beauty pageants makes me suspect an odd form of affirmative action.
Gateway Pundit thought the fix was obviously in because the blonde Miss Oklahoma didn’t win. It was conspiracy because she supported Arizona’s SB 1070 law.
Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard was a top contestant for the Miss USA crown this year. But, after she came out in support of the Arizona immigration law she was forced to take a back seat to Miss Michigan. Miss Oklahoma was runner up in this year’s competition.
Obviously, Rima Fakih couldn’t have won on her own, she’s hideous. Only blonde, Christian white women qualify as beauty queens.
