We're living in the 21st century now, not back in the 1800s where some people's values seem to be stuck. I think the Miss Roma competition is a positive event. I don't see a problem with it. Roma girls have the same rights as any other girls to feel special, and perhaps the winner might help with Roma issues after being crowned. That'd be nice.
