Article Alert :) - 6 Reasons the Miss Indian World Pageant Is Way More Badass Than Miss America - Considering the attention lavished on a 94-year-old pageant that celebrates a remarkably narrow (read: white) standard of beauty in Miss America, its refreshing to see women rewarded for less superficial attributes as well. And although the Miss America contest has made progressive strides of late — mostly via the platforms competitors have chosen to endorse, from domestic violence awareness to positive body image — it remains, at its core, tied to a vapid and fleeting standard of beauty. The qualities rewarded at the Miss Indian World pageant, however, last a lifetime. These are the attributes we should really be celebrating.” 1. Its NOT a beauty pageant. 2. It takes place at the worlds biggest powwow. 3. Every winner is a woman of color. 4. Theres no bikini contest. 5. When the apocalypse comes, you want these women on your team. 6. It helps preserve and promote a culture too often overlooked by its neighbors.
