THAN test the intelligence, the Miss Universe contest was rebuffed physical count as a major element of the assessment. Not surprisingly, the contest is a dream of many women in every way.

Worldwide Contest made by Donald Trump's daughter had finally found a new figure as the winner. He is Leila Lopes, contestants from Angola who replaced Ximena Navarrete, Miss Universe 2010 from Mexico.

Talking about the winner of the Miss Universe contest, of course we can not escape a growing perception that the winner of Miss Universe is dominated state Latin. However, Lopes' victory seemed a little change that perception.

First, in addition to country of origin is not Latin, Miss Angola 2011 victory also proves that there is diversity in the title of Miss Universe. That was not only entitled to their Latin-faced woman holds a beautiful wide, as well as those who were black.

Beauty contest does not deny making the physical as the main assessment. Although not dominate, at least the perception of beauty that is embedded in people's minds, is a beautiful white and smooth skin. Not surprisingly, the event which should show the diversity of precisely uniform impressed.

Proof, not all vice is the representation of women from the country they represent. Contestants from Asian countries, for example, just a lot that highlights 'look Western' or stylish look Garat. The sad thing again, although the USA become a country that carries the cultural diversity, almost every representative in the Miss Universe is a female graduate or still studying at the University of Texas. Similarly, as released IBTimes , on Tuesday (09/13/2011).

Real evidence seen also to the representatives of Malaysia, Deborah Priya Henry, who has Irish ancestry. Physically, her figure was beautiful, but is not typical of most Malay women. Growing trend in Asia is changing where women increasingly want to make the skin look whiter the course bersebrangan with peculiarities of Asian women with small eyes or brown skin.

In the end, beauty contests like Miss Universe become an arena for contestants to compete to show 'taste' westernized to achieve victory ticket. In South Korea, for example, nearly 15-30 percent of women perform eyelid plastic surgery to reduce the impression of Asia with slanted eyes and then displays the Western-style features.

In fact, not Miss Universe should be a celebration of diversity? The reason, this contest has a great opportunity to showcase the perception in women, especially young people, that beauty which is present not only in skin color and physical form.

Miss Universe should be more than just a physical sen sation that the event Umbar impressed sell dreams. Supposedly, the women assessed based on other qualities, like intelligence, elegance, and ethics which all became the accumulation of assessment.

And, with victory Leila Lopes these perceptions should be able to be erased and gave birth to a new perception that Miss Universe is highlight the diversity and not merely racist.
