From the article: "Multiple contestants referred to the U.S. Virgin Islands as a country, and the leader of the USVI, president. The U.S. Virgin Islands is a U.S. territory/dependency, and it is led by a governor, not a president."
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A local individual told the Consortium that the scene brought her back to a grisly moment of her youth when she was raped. What??!

The contestants should have to be virgins from the Virgin Island.

The obvious question is, were any of them actually Virgins?

Outrageous, no? I couldn’t believe it when I read this.

Not that this is right but that is an overstatement in the extreme.

If this was so important to the locals - and I really don’t blame them for wanting a local woman to win - why wasn’t there a requirement that the contestants must be residents of the Virgin Islands?
To: SilvieWaldorfMD
Partly also a race thing - The actual Virgin Islander contestants were black-mulato, as is the actual population.
The finalists weren’t black.
I sympathize with the complaints of the VI people. They should have had one of their own there.

I think we need photos of the contestants to judge for our selves...

Apparently a six-month residency, if only on paper, suffices. An apartment lease.

Worked with a pair of sisters from the Virgin Islands many years ago. One was a striking beauty. Both had knock-out accents.

That moment when a rape survivor equates being raped with getting beat in a beauty contest by a person who didn’t even live in the territory.
Imagine if one of the girls in Connecticut compared being beaten in women’s track by a guy claiming to be a girl, with being raped by a guy?
