What does it mean to be an American? Being an American means having to freedom and autonomy to decide which academic institution you want to visit, travel in the country without limitations, tune it to any radio or TV stations free of choice, and achieve scholastic and profession goals without the impact of any government or military. Since the U.S. is a diverse country, it means accepting others, being receptive to new suggestions and visions, treating everyone equally, being considerate and compassionate and not taking part in what your ancestors did for granted (Jr, Gallup, H. George. Gallop.http://www.gallup.com/poll/9712/what-being-american-means-todays-youth.aspx)
Does Ms. American represent America? Miss America represents intelligence, elegance, expression, beauty, and the highest ideals. However, the Ms. America pageant is based on unrealistic cultural body standards and if the contestants don't qualify for these expectations, then they're basically omitted from joining. Since the U.S. is a diverse nation, it'll be crucial to include diversity of different body types (Vagianos, Alanna. The Eye-Opening Evolution Of a Miss America Over 95 Years. Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-eye-opening-evolution-of-miss-americas-body-over-95-years_us_55f078d9e4b002d5c077a6fb)

By 2050, there will be a prevalence of mixed races in the U.S. Interracial relationships are inclining and on the rise since it's tolerated and accepted as to the 1960's whereas it was a taboo (Membis, Liane. What will America look like in 2050?,DefiningAmerica. CNN. How does this make me feel? Pretty much neutral, it shows that diversity is one of the hallmarks of American life. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/07/02/joel.kotkin.census/)
