It's not intrinsically racist (as I am sure that this is to promote African American modeling). However, it does set itself up to a Miss White USA. If a Miss Black USA can exist without intrisically being racist then someone else of another race or skin color could do the same if they truly feel the need to promote their race.

The funny thing is on the eligibility, they don't require you to be black. I guess they can get thrown into a legal cesspool if they required that.
