you made me want to look it up. apparently the official story is that non humans simply don't apply as much to even qualify. but of course this is likely a classic case of societal expectations and the way we raise our young.

most wolves for example don't even know they could apply for miss universe, but that creates a catch-22 type situation where this is informed by lack of representation, which makes wolved think they're not even considered for miss universe, but in that belief they refrain from applying and there's a vicious cycle that effectively excludes wolves from miss universe.
