Susie Castillo ( http://www.missusa.com/index2.html) was soo beautiful, when I saw her I thought to myself: "This girl have to be Boricua or Platanera" (my third guess was going to Colombia) actually she is both.
She is the 2nd Latina to win the title in 52 years. The 2nd colored woman in a roll (last year was an Afro-American), I think her wining deeply represent the expansion of Latinos in the States. Hope that her title will help remove some Latino stereotype as she so wonderfully said.....
" SAN ANTONIO - Miss Massachusetts Susie Castillo was crowned Miss USA? 2003 in the 52nd annual staging of the pageant Monday night. Castillo (23) -of Lawrence, Massachusetts- an office manager and model, will be America's candidate in the Miss Universe pageant in June in Panama City, Panama. A fluent Spanish speaker with Puerto Rican roots, Castillo said she would use her crown to try to raise the stature of the nation's Hispanic population. "Hopefully I can erase some stereotypes about Latinos ? that they're not all housekeepers, drug dealers or hoodlums in the ghetto," she said. "Maybe there are some roles out there for a queen."

Miss Universe is Panamean, Miss USA is Dominican-PuertoRican...
Aren't you happy and proud you all? Me I am! Good luck Susie
