Subject: Re: Miss MD and Miss MDOT needs Diversity Author: Past Contestant [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Monday, June 19, 09:26:37am In reply to: Time for change 's message, "Miss MD and Miss MDOT needs Diversity" on Sunday, June 18, 01:54:19pm I agree with this statement, but unfortunately this organization has a "type" and that type does not include diversity. My daughter competed in this system and it was evident that while they may "like" others, if you don't fit that "type" you will be overlooked. But I will say that Destiny was a pleasant surprise when she won. No one saw that one coming. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

It's the person they think will "look good" on paper, and not who did the person or caught everyone's attention during competition. Maybe it will change in the future. I sure hope so.

[> [> Subject: MD has sent winners that fall in the diversity category that have placed. So this statement isn't accurate. Author: Check facts [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, June 19, 02:30:27pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
