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.

Whites were over 20 percent prior to the end of apartheid

now they are down to around half that

due to skyrocketing black population and immigration and white flight

a lost nation..they never really had a partition option

we may not either..

Actually, South Africa was originally populated by whites. When the British first colonized the area, it was uninhabited. They were the original settlers.

Why are all Miss Universe contestants human? Doesn’t that discriminate against space aliens?

I have a business acquaintance who is South African born who, upon getting his American citizenship while in college his junior year, promptly marched into the financial aid office and filled out the forms for an African-American scholarship. And got a full ride his senior year.

Apparently the black admin in the financial aid office from whom he got the initial application was not amused.

Why do intelligent people suppose that it matters what some “judges' choose to say about the relative attractiveness of young women? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Why are so many Americans obsessed with skin color?

Which race pimp do they bow and give allegiance to?

The Hangover and Ted were both hilarious. I loved how they worked Sam Jones into Ted.

ISN’T THERE ROOM FOR DIVERSITY IN SOUTH AFRICA? OR HAS DISCRIMINATION JUST SHIFTED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION?

Wrong. The Dutch first colonized the area, later the British invaded and occupied the Cape Colony.

Whites are the only race on the planet that believe race doesn’t matter.

Who among us can count the number of times we have heard or said or read or written, skin color doesn't matter?

The goal of equality has been trumped by the goal of privilege.
