Re: Miss America 2014 crowned and Social media erupts with racism!
KKF bhai before you judge all pageants as only being disrespectful please watch video above and this link. I think it’s nice how she got to talk about her background and culture to a global audience. The national dress showcases the sari well, a dress which looks good on all women not just desis.
Miss India Universe 2000 Lara Dutta top 5 interview - YouTube
How is this clothing any worse than a desi music video, bollywood or channels like MTV? Don’t more people watch those? Also should we ban contests where males show off their body like mr universe or body building competitions?
I agree miss america/miss universe has become more glamourised these days and highlights little more than beauty these days.
I can understand they are getting to be superficial, only focusing on external beauty and this may affect some young girls. But how is that any different from desi magazines having females on front cover?
did you know mrs universe (married women’s miss universe) winner in 2001 was Dr Aditi Gowitrikar who featured in Adnan Sami’s kabhi to nazar milao song. So its not all about beauty..it can be beauty and brains :)This Miss America, of indian background, is also from a family of doctors and aspires to be a doctor for which she will use her $50 000 prize money. She also gave sensible answers to the questions and performed a bollywood/bharatnatyam fusion dance for her talent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UCQXQInA2E Winning pageants alone isn’t for those who rely on looks- as the docs above show. Lara dutta also has a degree in economics with minor in communication. She speaks 4 languages as well.
