Storm as British girl wins American Pageant

A British private schoolgirl has caused a storm after being named America's Perfect Teen.

Anysha Panesar, 16, beat a host of American beauties to win the contest while on holiday in Florida.

But the families of other contestants are furious at the snub to the U.S. girls - because Anysha is from a tiny village in Wales.

Parents of the American girls have protested to the organisers of the pageant, which has a $2,000 (£1,300) first prize - and an $18,000 (£11,500) scholarship to train as a TV broadcaster.

But Anysha has hit back - arguing the outcry is just sour grapes.

The America's Perfect Teen contest, which included girls as young as 13, has a big following in the States.

But Anysha was stunned to beat the other 30 contestants from across America.

She said: 'I think I was a bit different.

'The pageant is like no other in that there are no rules for what you wear. It's more like America's Next Top Model.

The pageant's founder Michael Galanes, whose toddlers' pageant Little Miss Perfect has become a TV hit in the U.S., admitted it has caused fury.

He said: 'Yes, her win caused a bit of a stir because she is, of course, British.

'But that is perfectly within the rules of the competition and those people are just nay-sayers.

storm on QL as British Girl wins Pageant..

By GodFather.• 21 Sep 2010 07:11
GodFather.

rishi..I think you missing Britexpat comment that her mother is named Caroline and more likely to be a white welsh lady.

Don't agree with the inherited advantage due one of her parent beign of asian decent.

It has much to do with her inherited DNA as well as the evironment that she has been brough up in.

So Saler has issue with Asian girls from the Indo-subcontinent so I guess he also hates Ashwaria Rai?

Why complicate things. She is British and that's it. Well done to her for winning the pageant.

xena, snessy and rev.s,

its kind of funny that you all three of you couldnt understand my comment..

i never said she was not a brit. i just commented on her ethnicity that she was probably a sikh. nationality and ethnicity are entirely two different things.

lol Sneesy n Xena

tinker, the weather seems fine....probably, oryx had had a bad day today, lets give her a break..:)

By anonymous• 20 Sep 2010 21:13

oryx, its your right to disagree and also call me a nazi..lol

but, let me tell you, unless and untill an asian doesnt marry a caucasian, his / her DNA will not change much. at any point, given an indendent test, the DNA will always point towards the asian origin.

the guy can become superficially smarter and he will do well in an advanced country because of better facilities and exposure, however, the basic intellect and bodily features would remain the same..

hey, am i being too serious having started a sardar joke with tinker..?

If you believe that then you have the same beliefs as the Nazis.

I totally disagree with you. Bodily features yes but the brain no way.

How your brain performs can be very dependent on diet and educational stimuli.

I do not believe that any one race is inherently more/less intelligent and that whatever the circumstances this will not change.

This has been proved time and time again by people who have gone to live in another country and done far better because it has the opportunities their countries do not have.

By anonymous• 20 Sep 2010 20:38
anonymous

oryx, if you are in the mood to argue then let me tell you that the DNA governing the bodily features and the brain are dependent only on the ethnicity.

these features wont change even if one stays for generations in another country..

Saler is a secret British girl lover - he's just in denial...

LOL, I love the fact some people think all Brits are white :-)

tinker, that is what happens when one exposes oneself to the public.

By Oryx• 20 Sep 2010 20:24
Oryx

She is British. Her ethnic origins are her business.

British does not mean white christian.

Britain has always had a lot of ethnic diversity and anyone who believes otherwise doesn't know their history.

By anonymous• 20 Sep 2010 20:21

If she is british she had probably sunk a whole load of barcardi breezers before the contest. Oh sorry she is Welsh make that a few bottles of Thunderbird.

Actually good on the girl and I hope she does well in life :)

By anonymous• 20 Sep 2010 20:20

tinker, most probably she is a sikh..atleast her name suggests and sikhs are known for their common sense..:)

wk will endorse that.

By anonymous• 20 Sep 2010 20:15

Well then she must be all brains cause I dont see the beauty. I mean, look at those ugly knees, and that horse like smile.

Not to mention her posture in that first picture like shes a goddamn hunchback.

The judges need to take a walk down south beach in the summer...
