Aren’t we all so PC now.
Just a bunch of wack judges. No way this happens if not intentional - these things are all political.
I work with a guy from Wales - he has a thick Welsh brougue. About once a week, some makes the mistake of calling him English. The response is usually ugly, but (quietly) amusing for the rest of us in the office.
Occasionally, someone will mistake him as Australian. He doesn't go so ballistic over that, for some reason.
Happy 76th Birthday!

She’s certainly a pretty girl.
I’m still trying to figure out “America’s Got Talent” and the fantastic mime. He was from France and his wife and family lived there.
What?
Magnificent!
Ideally, it’s only temporary, but some teens NEVER grow up to AND beCOME Democrats INSTEAD OF PRODUCTIVE ADUTLS.
Fixed it!
The UK is England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland
GB is England, Scotland and Wales. Hence British.
Should read as ‘America’s Most Prefect Marketing Title’ would eliminate any confusion over international involvement and put parents on notice, not that they care.
In other words, she was "different" from all the others, that is, she wasn't "American."

Historically speaking, the Welsh are the only true “British.” They’re descended from the original “British” who were conquered by the Romans.
The English came in after the Romans left (wise decision on their part) and took over most of the island, forcing the original British back into Wales, Cornwall and even across the sea into Brittany. The English (and everybody else on the islands) were eventually conquered by Normans from France.
The Scots, at least by that name, were originally invaders from Ireland into the northern part of GB.
Of course, all of this is largely genetically meaningless since the various original stocks have been enthusiastically cross-breeding for a couple millenia.
America's Perfect Miss and America's Perfect Teen is designed for all young women, (ages 13-15, 16-19, 20-29) from every state in America, and DC, who love the stage, want to hold a local, state and even national title, and carry this new found celebrity status to a professional modeling or acting career with the South Florida Modeling and Talent Agency:
So how was this teen deemed eligible?
"But that is perfectly within the rules of the competition," said Michael Galanes the pageant's founder.
Huh?
Yes, I truly know. It’s just so much fun to make light of it all — especially if you’re as scrambled as most of us are here in the States. I understand that England didn’t actually become “England” until the Anglos came in with that brat William. My mother’s side of the family came from all the places anyone could come from on the islands — Scotland/Ireland and Wales, including some who pushed in with William. Assume there must be a Roman or two in the wood pile as well. I’m such an amalgam of the UK, I can’t imagine WHAT I truly am. Pure German on my father’s side. Combine that with Cherokee and my, my I’m a mess. A regular patchwork quilt. The kid in this contest must be another amalgam. That’s were this whole thing started. Definitely can’t see the Welsh genes.
Breeding is good. I'm all for breeding.
What have we allowed our youth to become? I really was hoping to see a smiling blond, hair up in a pony tail, appropriate limited make-up ready to go cheer her football playing highschool boyfriend on to victory.
The English language is quite literally the result of efforts by Norman soldiers to pick up Saxon/English barmaids.
Did you see the link, post #26? Amazing how many of the girls look hard and harsh, like 35- or 40-year-olds who've lived hard lives and had lots of men. Very few are the wholesome, cute, fresh-scrubbed types who used to win teen beauty pageants.
Actually, the "English" (Angles, Saxons, Jute4s) invaded in the 400s/500s. A great many Norse came into Britain in the 800s/900s and up to 1066, when William (genetically mostly Norse, culturally entirely French) conquered the country.
They could rename the contest, “The Miss Rode Hard & Put Away Wet Contest”. Think there would be as many contestants?
