"Miss Universe" is sexist and racist pageant
Miss Japan for this year's "Miss Universe" competition was selected, 24 year-old fashion model.
In 2007 Miss Japan won Miss Universe Crown. Was that good news?
Actually, I did not care and even despise the praise people were making.
This pageant should be criticised for its sexist and racist aspects.
Contenstants were expected to be gentle and cheerful girl. They have to be neutral in the sense of politics.
That is why Miss California was said to have lost the crown of Miss America because of her remark on the same sex marriage.
Women are evaluated based on skin deep and appearance by swim suits and evening gown. Not by their character or ability.
That is a traditional role of women in the society. Poor girls, they still want to be loved by playing such old-fashioned woman.
The standard of beauty for the pageant is western measure, not universal. It is myth of universalism.
Always a white woman won. Otherwise a woman who looked like white woman who suits high-heels, dress, and tiara did. Skinny and lighter skin color is recommended.
In some parts of the world, like in Southern Pacific islands or Calibu, fat women are considered attractive. Very different from western world.
Why is "Miss Universe" winner considered the queen of the world? No. They cannot represent the world's beauty.
There are numerous standards of woman's beauty. The pageant is very imperialistic thing.
By showing the pageant globally, the people of the world are brainwashed to believe western beauty is the only beauty of the world.
Nonsense and racist. We are not so dumb any more.
Such an event is unfitted to 21st century. Anti-feminist and anti-multi-culturalism.
The pageant should be abolished to ban discrimination.
