Answer:

A. seeing American women try to look “ethnic” like her.

Explanation:

In the story "I Want to Be Miss America," the speaker talks about her struggles in trying to fit a stereotype of the "American beauty." She is Hispanic, and she feels that her characteristics do not fit with this look. Therefore, she spends a lot of her time trying to achieve a more "mainstream" look.
