omedetou gozaimasu to miss japan. i'm really happy that an asian woman took miss universe. but i agree with what nea said:

yes, many of my co-workers (of various nationalities) all agreed miss japan looked a lot more american than japanese. very tanned instead of white.
although africa never won, wasn't there a black girl who won from jamaica or something? this was a few years back.
i also felt really bad for miss usa. i think she remained extremely professional given the fall and the booing she had to endure in a foreign environment._________________ Use THUMBS UP/DOWN buttons to KEEP or DELETE posts.

Now Africa needs to learn to send out the right women, too, because it's pretty sad that African women almost never win. |

I did get my facts straight. I'm fully aware that African women have won before - the thing is that, compared to women from other continents, they didn't win often. Which is why I used almost never. When looking at the Miss Universe site on wikipedia, Africa has won only 3 times (and one title, the South African one, was won by a white woman), whereas South America won 10 times, Asia and Europe won 11 times and North America 18 times.
I can't rid myself of the feeling that you feel I meant to insult African women, when in fact I did the opposite. I said that I feel that there are very many beautiful African women and the reason why they didn't win often was because they did a poor job at finding those women, much like East Asian countries have been doing up until the last 2 years. I also said that it was sad that they didn't win very often and that I was hoping another African woman would win soon.

lol i admit i did get a little angered but then i was like ok maybe she didn't mean it that way but yeah i totally see your point and i guess the reason is that 1. most of the countries are too poor to sponsor anyone so the people that usually compete are the ones that are a little more well off and 2. most african countries to the north especially are muslim like strict mulsim so like these kind of competitions are considered no nos. I do think that Nigeria (since its like one of the richest countries in africa) and south africa have been able to send people everywhere but i think they need to do a better job although i thought the girl the picked for miss nigeria was pretty she should have just smiled more <.< >.> mah well i'm happy with Miss japan winning cause she brought spunk to the competition_________________ *Creds to AshanishiLynn for the hot Avatar and kwuintessence for the sexy Siggy!!!!

| I thought Miss Tanzania was great this year, though I have to admit that at first glance, her bald head was very alienating. But I then thought about it more and realized that this woman was shining with pride about who she was and she wrote on the website that she had a bald head because God had made her perfect as a pure, natural African woman and I thought that was an attractive and unique way of thinking.
