4Her win was important
The biggest issue most people have with these types of pageants is that the winners are usually White. Even though there is a huge diversity among the contestants the winner is usually someone with a white skin tone. Though these are all based on the beauty, personality and attractiveness of the contestants some still cry foul play when someone White wins.
