  • Sink Or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition
    Volume 4, Issue No. 1. Sink or Swim: Deciding the Fate of the Miss America Swimsuit Competition Grace Slapak Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA ÒÏ Abstract: The Miss America beauty pageant has faced widespread criticism for the swimsuit portion of its show. Feminists claim that the event promotes objectification and oversexualization of contestants in direct contrast to the Miss America Organization’s (MAO) message of progressive female empowerment. The MAO’s position as the leading source of women’s scholarships worldwide begs the question: should women have to compete in a bikini to pay for a place in a cellular biology lecture? As dissent for the pageant mounts, the new head of the MAO Board of Directors, Gretchen Carlson, and the first all-female Board of Directors must decide where to steer the faltering organization. The MAO, like many other businesses, must choose whether to modernize in-line with social movements or whole-heartedly maintain their contentious traditions. When considering the MAO’s long and controversial history, along with their recent scandals, the #MeToo Movement, and the complex world of television entertainment, the path ahead is anything but clear. Ultimately, Gretchen Carlson and the Board of Directors may have to decide between their feminist beliefs and their professional business aspirations. Underlying this case, then, is the question of whether a sufficient definition of women’s leadership is simply leadership by women or if the term and its weight necessitate leadership for women. Will the board’s final decision keep this American institution afloat? And, more importantly, what precedent will it set for women executives who face similar quandaries of identity? In Murky Waters The Miss America Pageant has long occupied a special place in the American psyche.

  • Beauty, Femininity, and South Asian American Culture
    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction: Beauty Matters On September 14, 2013, Nina Davuluri, a twenty-four-year-old Miss New York beauty-pageant queen, became the first Indian American to win the title of Miss America. Within minutes of Davuluri’s history-making win, Twitter was abuzz with racist tweets, some calling Davuluri a “terrorist” and a “member of Al Qaeda.” Others misidentified Davuluri, a Hindu whose family hails from South India, as both “Muslim” and “Arab,” reli- gious and geographic identities that, in the wake of a post-9/11 cultural backlash against Muslim, Arab, and South Asian populations and ram- pant Islamophobia, were intended to disqualify Davuluri from the title of Miss America—as one racist tweeter put it, “This is Miss America not Miss Muslim.” Yet, just as quickly, countertweets came pouring in to defend Davuluri, whose political platform for the pageant was “Celebrat- ing Diversity through Cultural Competency.” Rather predictably, these tweets appealed to the multicultural ethos of the Miss America pageant, citing Davuluri’s win as evidence of the US nation’s embrace of ethni- cally diverse ideals of “American beauty.” In the days that followed, South Asian American writers and blog- gers weighed in as well, many arguing that Davuluri’s Indian features productively challenged “euro-centric ideals of beauty” and contributed to “a broadening understanding of Americanness in a space that has historically taken a fairly narrow view of what qualifies as an accept- ably American appearance and background” (qtd. in Hafiz). Other South Asian Americans, who were more critical of the sexist structure of beauty pageants, sidelined the issue of Davuluri’s beauty and focused on 2 / introduction Excerpt • Temple University Press the cyber-racism that it incited.

She is the first woman of Indian descent to win. On Twitter, people questioned why a "non-American" is Miss America. Many tweeters mistook her for an Arab or a terrorist. One tweeter said: "They just picked a Muslim for Miss America. That must've made Obama happy." Ms Davuluri was born in New York and grew up as a Hindu. This is big news in India. A newspaper wrote the racism started as soon as Nina received the tiara and before her tears were dry. It said the tweets ruined "the moment of triumph for the first ever Miss America of Indian origin". Ms Davuluri ignored the comments, saying: "I have to rise above that. I always viewed myself as first and foremost American." She was happy the contest embraced diversity and happy that children could see a new Miss America.

The limitations of this for contemporary analysis is then highlighted. After reading the chapter, the reader will be able to describe historical patterns of racial categorizations, and to appreciate the need for an updated social construc- tionist approach to studying the dynamics of race in contemporary society. The theory and concepts covered in the chapter include: Afro-centrism; Black power; black deviance; colonialism; critical criminology; essentialism; ethnocentrism; eurocentrism; scientific racism; and social constructionism. The case study in the chapter concerns the online racism following Nina Davuluri’s crowning as Miss America 2014. The key question raised in the chapter is: What are the key mark- ers of race in contemporary society, and how do they differ from the markers of previous generations? 02_Patel_Ch_02.indd 13 6/28/2016 2:31:11 PM 14 RACE AND SOCIETY KEY TERMS • Afro-centrism • Black deviance • Black power • Colonialism • Critical criminology • Discrimination • Eco-racism • Essentialism • Ethnocentrism • Eurocentrism • Prejudice • Racialization • Racism • Scientific racism • Social constructionism • Whiteness WHAT IS RACE?
