On Saturday night, 18-year-old Texas born Karlie Hay was crowned Miss Teen USA.
Following her win, Jezebel pointed out that she’s posted numerous racist tweets in the past, which are problematic on their own.
But that’s not what caught the internet’s attention about the national pageant.
It was the fact that it’s nearly impossible to distinguish Karlie Hay from the other girls, who finished in the top five. All the finalists, who come from different states in the US, have blonde hair, blue eyes, and an almost identical skin tone. It’s… weird.

In the last 7 years, only 2 blondes have won.....
They currently have a black Miss USA called Deshauna.....
Statistically, this is a non issue. The pageant has a different mix of colours - skin and hair - every year. This particular year, the top 5 were blondes. The top 10 had more of a mix
.....are any minorities actually offended by this, or is it just white sjw's being offended on behalf of others again?
