”I never could have imagined in a million years that I would be Miss America, let alone that I would be Miss Alaska,” a beaming Emma Broyles told The Associated Press on Friday in a Zoom call from Connecticut, where she won the competition about 12 hours earlier.
In fact, she was sure they had it wrong. The final two contestants were Broyles and Lauren Bradford, Miss Alabama, and Broyles said she was thinking Bradford was going to make an amazing Miss America.
”And then they said Alaska, and I said, ‘No way. Are you sure? Do you want to check that card again?” she said before the emotion overtook her and she began crying tears of joy.

Who is that behind her and to the right?
Is that Miss Idaho?
Ummm, that would be American making headlines…or you might say Alaskan making a headline.
If I won a beauty contest, nobody would be saying Slovakian-American wins beauty contest. Also, ever notice no white or black has ever won Miss Korea? That is a clear lack of diversity.
Time to look up Teddy Roosevelt’s Knights of Columbus speech about hyphenated Americans?
Perhaps not yet; but the pretty American girl from Alaska with Korean ancestry won.
What Korean ancestry? Who has the Korean ancestry you speak of? I don’t see anyone there, with that.
