    I don't care if minorities are over represented or not, I just care about how hot they are. These babes ain't exactly babes. I might want to take one to a spelling 'B' but that's where it ends.

    I was definitely just as worried about the such. Didn't want to sound crude.

    Hahahahahaha. I'll have to look her up but the hottest girl in a movie I recently watched wasn't Rachel McAdams and she is smoking. Be right back.

    That's my point. They won't be hot. They'll be the "feel good" pick.

    So, I'd have to google her but I heard a girl singer months ago that was terrible. I knew she had to be super hot OR related to someone. Not hot, Rob Schneider's daughter. Guess it pays to know a b lister even.

    It's like a lot of those singing shows. Pretty sure most of the people on The Voice have some kind of sob story. Either they survived cancer, or they were homeless, or they're gay, or they're just really really young.

    Hell, they didn't even let Maren Morris audition.

    The voice is only good during the blind auditions. The whole show should be that way.

    I agree. It's not like the winners go on to do anything anyway.

    I've watched Miss America for years off and on. I used to love watching the gay dancers in the opening number, lol. And my ex-girlfriend from middle school made 1st runner up one year. That was exciting. My first response to this headline was "oh brother." It's always been dumb so it feels like let's make the "dumb contest" no longer be dumb. But after a few seconds, I get it. We're past this. I expect we'll no longer have Blazers Dancers, Lakers Girls, etc. I know they choose to do it and they are paid, but it's pretty embarrassing having women leaning on each other's asses in the tightest little shorts. Our country moved past this along time ago but the NBA hasn't caught up. It's just a bad example to set for young boys (not to mention young girls) at sporting events. The message sent is "Strong boys demonstrate their skills as the star of the event while the little girls shake their asses during timeouts."

    What the fuck is wrong with you, Nate? Why is it crap for people of color to be chosen? Percentages don't matter. What about the centuries of time that POCs got to do none of this? I'm not gonna call you names but re-read your post. It's textbook racism. Not to mention sexist (i.e. You saying it's crap if women don't wear swimsuits in a contest that has chosen to redefine itself).

    Also the kids in each high school vote for who their own princesses. This isn't some grand conspiracy to keep white girls off of the Rose Festival Court.

    Actually, no, it's a politically-rigged process with selections ultimately by "a panel of judges".

    1. Is the Rose Festival Court a popularity contest?
      No. Each Rose Festival princess is selected by a panel of judges who are not acquainted with any of the candidates. These judges include community members chosen by Rose Festival Board Members and representatives from your school. Each Portland area school is required to conduct a student vote. The student vote makes up 50% of the total score, with the community judging score completing the remaining 50% to determine the Princess at your school.
