Beauty pageants are ludicrous anyway, and if you go in for one, you take a risk. You put yourself up there, for people to take pot shots at.
I doubt if this was political correctness. There were only about a dozen girls who entered. And the losers in that pic don't look that special.
I've only had one black girlfriend, but I have to say that she was better looking than this one, and she had no ambitions to be a beauty queen.
I googled Michelle Taylor, and found two Michelle Taylors straight away who are better looking :


But then winning a beauty pageant isn't just about photos, it's about money, and who bribes who, and will they shag the judges for their votes. Oh, and charm and personality and all that shit.
So no, I doubt if it was political correctness. Just, who offered what.
