46. Most white ethnicities have their own pageants |

And the winner goes to every Polish/Irish/Italian/whatever Heritage Festival in the country for the next year.
"White" is a fairly meaningless designation -- particularly given that it includes about 2/3rds of hispanics -- which may be another reason that "Miss White America" wouldn't be an economically feasible pageant; there's not much of a market for ribbon-cutting and sappy-vapid-speech-making for the winner to do over the course of the next year. (And notice, nobody I have heard of is complaining about Italian Heritage Day or Irish-American History Week or whatever -- unlike "white", those are meaningful cultures, and they should be respected and honored.)
