Johannesburg - A white girl representing South Africa was the most jarring thing for some beauty pageant watchers to witness this week.
When the blue-eyed former Miss SA Melinda Bam took to the Miss Universe stage at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, she triggered a social media buzz.
Her appearance sparked an avalanche of tweets, mostly from American viewers during the pageant, which was streamed live online at 03:00 local time.

Mayhap because she is the most talented and beautiful of all the contestants?
cause she was born there...
When filling out those nationality boxes she truly enjoys marking "African."
How can anyone look at this beautiful woman and ask why she's white? They chose a white woman because she is beautiful; melanin levels should not be a consideration in either direction.
I dunno... why must I live among so many politically correct lunkheads?
For fans, here she is again.
talented?
she won a pageant, big whoop
Oh wait, wrong thread for that ....
Dayum . . .nice
Part of many pageants is the participants ability to demonstrate some talent ... singing, playing a musical instrument etc. all I’m saying. And in the world of pageants, yes, for her, a big whoop.
Leads to scholarships, movie contracts and depending on her talent, a contract of some kind. Yes, a big whoop for her.
Affirmative Action candidate?
Very pretty woman.
Ask anybody she is the prettiest, all the guys think so regardless of race
Er, I'm thinking that she is in the one pictured in post #5, and unless I've gone stone cold color-blind, the lady has brown eyes.
cause she was born there...
Doesn’t count, according to libs.
“’Why is Miss South Africa white?’”
Just a hunch but I’d guess...genetic makeup?
Oh... you mean this is one of those racist questions the media keeps asking?
Sorry. Homie don’t play dat...
I am sure that between mofokeng and bam, there must be a joke in there somewhere.
What’s wrong with me that I find canard designs so pretty?
That one is unusual in that the canard is shifted so far to the rear, but I could see immediately how that helps high AOA aspects on the main wing.
I tell ya, When I sit down and think about the world and my situation the first question that comes to mind is, Why Miss South Africa is white, really it is.
And then it hits me! There are white South Africans! In fact I know a white South African woman!
Now I can sleep soundly and all is right and good.
