Well thats just it,African features do run the gamut,and like I said before she is just playing the game.After all there are 100's of Black pageants in the USA that she could have competed in exclusively if she wanted to,but she chose one which is all about the European aesthetic and ideal....and she won.

And all this wailing about is she too this or too that?? the irony is even if she entered Black only pageants,sporting Bantu knots,an Afro wotever,the girl who would most likely win would be the one with the most Euro veneer,so before we starting chatting fart about someone elses back yard,we need to fix up our own.

As people have mentioned it is true that mostly girls that spot long weaves and have finer features tend to win not only European based pageants but African pageants too..you should see the winners from the Miss Nigeria 2007 and 2008...
Look at the pics posted by @chi see Miss USA in all her natural form till she obviously fixed something guess it was worth the investments...have a nose job and its you mixed ain't cha??..please!!...bet both parents are Africans
As someone mentioned all you had to do was put a weave on some light skinned African girl and automatically throws up assumptions that shes mixed with this or that...
Diasporans have been fed enough bullshit that they start to assimilate this pressumptions you know the saying hear a lie over and over again you start to believe its the truth...
Africans come in all shapes and hues and features as a result of migration you have to understand the African continent is huge Nigeria alone unofficially has 120 million people if you don't know Igbos-Yorubas-Hausas have distinctive features and thats just in one country...
Now on to some of the stuff that some mentioned regarding Africans with finer features...The thin lips is the only probable feature some Africans have in common with Arabs or Europeans the shape of the nose and eyes is nothing like those of Arab or European descent...its not as long and crooked ...tends to be much smaller and we tend to have round eyes...its like some here and beyond are actually saying we ain't a looker till we mixed with something...wake up and acknowledge your beauty Africans...Clued up AAs and Caribbeans can testify that a good 70% ain't mixed
Seen Yoruba girls with slanty eyes like chinese and they ain't no mixing going on there...
Miss USA is just another African light skinned girl with weave period!!...good luck to her

Ignore Miss South Africa....that was a farce

I agree with Happiness and JB on this one. It's a friggin beauty pageant, it's superficial, and to some degree illusory, by it's very nature and definition. A hair weave is just 1 of a million fake things that women participating in those things may feel the need to do or be advised to do, no matter what their racial make up is. Ya'll are acting like aside from the weave, the sh*t is real and on some earthy, deep vibe,lol.

There is very definitely a beauty pageant "look", irrespective of the race of those involved. You even see it with the little girl pageants, with the little 7 and 8 yr old girls all made up to look like adult women......is that some creepy/pedophile-esque sh*t or what????When you see them without all of the hair and make up they look totally different, like normal little girls.

Btw, Crystle doesn't look bi-racial to me. I'd be very surprised is she was.

Don't take this personal but your comment is the antithesis of common sense. As a West African myself all I can do is laugh. West Africa and/or Africa as a whole is no genetic box where dna is limited to region. There is scientific fact that African dna has the most variation of all dna on the globe. That has even been posted on this board.
As scientest say there's more dna variation in one African village than in among any other ethnic group on the globe.

Still dont get this whole discussion.

I just get reactive when people post things referencing what they think should be more "African" - be it fashion, architecture, beauty, life-style etc.... My question is please define what you mean by "African this or African that" because really there is alot of stereotyping that goes on.

Some Africans look like Miss USA and some Africans look like that model from Sudan (her name escapes me right now). so who truly has the "African" look and what the heck does all that mean anyway??

Shemsi - we are what we are....and if you believe the one dimensional nature of being "African", acting "African", dressing "African", living "African" and looking "African" ..... then you are as much a product of the mind control that you think you have escaped.

What Miss USA has is a look - a beauty pageant look. Any of us black woman here would have that same look with a weave and make up no matter where we came from.

Tell me about it.
To many people who are not African, Africans looks are limited to only 2 or 3 stereotypes.

I'm not limiting Africans looks. I'm aware of the variety of looks. I was speaking on West Africans who are high yella in complexion. With the climate that they are in how can you say that they don't have any non-black ancestry?

I'm not being ignorant at all.

@ Alabama girl - I am the third person to advise you that you really are very wrong in what you are saying.

No bigger fool than he (or she) that hears but does not listen.

Do alittle bit of reserch and you will find that there are many regions in west Africa with cold weather. Or is it all just Sahara Desert to you?

People need to unlearn alot.

As for cold weather. People say cold weather, but I doubt it's that much of a factor. Even the eskimos come with wide noses and big lips and a darker tint than whites.

I'm still laughing at all light skinned blacks in West Africa being mixed. with arab.

Holy shit, the endless nauseating discussions about african looks or hair in this forum. Especially from this effeminate shemsi character, here's some advice: stfu.

African continent is diverse and there is no standard african look, and the girl is good looking and definitely **** able. End of discussion.
