One gold star to Mr. Trump! It is nice to see some of us really pass! However:
In another vein to the pageant scene, I remember there was a tanning contest sponsored by a certain tanning lotion company in SoCal in the 60's and 70's that was open to 'Caucasian' women only. That pagent went on for years without nary a buzz until a few naturally light skinned Hispanic (Latin American) women entered the contest and started winning the prizes. There was an uproar from the women of European descent over the ruling that said the these Hispanic women were Caucasian, even though they are a mix of mainly Spanish, German and Mesoamerican (various southern Indian tribes including Inca, Aztec, Mayan, Yaqui, Mosquito, etc.). This uproar made it to the Ann Landers column, but the Euro-descent people didn't get much support from her either.
They had the contest for a few years after that then it had lost the fan base due to that decision plus the growing concerns about skin cancer and aging. This may happen here when the ciswomen lose the interest in these pageants.
