Miss Universe has always been won by someone from Earth. Coincidence?
I did some digging and the jury is also always from that planet and also quite racist. It's not only always someone from earth but also from the human race.
That's why analyzing power structures is so crucial. I don't believe that they actively exclude non earthers or non humans, but the jury is more likely to choose their own kind and the people putting together the jury are as well.
Iirc there is a strategy in the US in one team sport for management to have a quota, not in outcome but the shortlist has to contain one non human (or non white, I'm not sure) and that alone raised the outcome because it made people seen that were invisible for the committee before.
you made me want to look it up. apparently the official story is that non humans simply don't apply as much to even qualify. but of course this is likely a classic case of societal expectations and the way we raise our young.
most wolves for example don't even know they could apply for miss universe, but that creates a catch-22 type situation where this is informed by lack of representation, which makes wolved think they're not even considered for miss universe, but in that belief they refrain from applying and there's a vicious cycle that effectively excludes wolves from miss universe.
