Baton Rouge-At this past year’s Miss White America pageant in the heart of Louisiana, 3 women were disqualified after judges discovered they were not 100% white.
Wendy Spinkles, 19 of Miami, Florida, was onstage modeling swimwear when one of the judges noticed a difference in skin tone between her upper and lower body.
Spinkles was interrogated backstage where judges concluded she was 30% Indian and kindly asked her to leave the competition site.
“That kind of trickery goes against all pageant rules and is morally wrong,” Judge Judy said shaking her head in shame.
Two other contestants, Michelle Bard and Lauren Simms, were picked up before the formal wear competition, when rumors of their Spanish accents reached the judges.
Currently, officials are re-evaluating application procedures and are preparing to heighten security for future competitions.
"This pageant gives hope of a future for white women, and I don't want to see anyone tear those dreams down," proclaimed pageant president Jane Smith.
