Since 2001 there have been 3 non-caucasian Miss Americas. I think they are doing a fair job representing the population.
Their photos can be found linked at the bottom of this article (with the exception of the 2001 winner).

Two students apply. One is of Asian decent with a 3.8 GPA. One is white, black, or hispanic with a 3.8 GPA. The Asian student is less likely to be admitted. That isn't right.
If preferences are going to be given (and I'm not saying they should be), they should be given based on socio-economic background, not on race.

Not to mention stop making things unequal in favor for African Americans just because of something that happened a long time ago. When does it end? Do we just keep making it right for stuff like this to happen? Do we keep making it the "norm"? I don't see the Germans giving the Jews everything in the world. We are the one and only to do something like this ... I'm by no means a racist. I've got plenty of black friends and I listen to a lot of hip hop so don't play a race card on me. It's a shame because there are a few African Americans who don't like it because they know what is going on is wrong, too.

I agree, and I have had enough. Go ahead and label me a racist as the word has been whored out & hardly has any meaning. Seems that anything turns racial when the black manwho has no education, and who refuses any education, because they expect everything to be handed to them because they are black, and have no intent of working hard to make their own life better doesnt get his way. Im tired of giving into it

This is in no way a blanket statement for all African Americans, just describing the small percentage of the AA population that are the main reason for ongoing poor race relations in the country. This small percentage are the ones who are afraid to move forward and do what it takes to improve their own lives. These give the hard working, ambitious AA's a bad name. In this country today, everyone is given the opportunity to succeed in life, IF THEY WORK HARD TO SUCCEED. I place the idiot singer in this small percentage.

You guys will never change...
LOL-
Poor choice? Yes. But, you gotta admit... She sang it well, and- you know how big your b***s would have to be, to get up there and sing something other than the National Anthem, in front of a room full of white folks...
That took cajones.
PS- I'm black, been black my whole life, grew up in a majority black town, went to a 95% black school, and didn't know we had a black national anthem.

No double standard????? Are you serious?????
What kind of music do you listen to? I personally don't listen to rap, but they say ***** in it all the time.
Now, I'm assuming you're black anaheim. I am white. Now if I walked up to you and said, "Whats up *****?". Would you get mad or not?
If you were walking down the street and heard a group of white people dropping ***** left and right, would you get upset and think they were racist?

That would be based on his view on who a typical white person is
