Is there a reason anyone should make a stink over a girl receiving the honor of being Samba Queen at Carnival?

In Carnival passed Julia Lira was bestowed the honor of being hailed Samba Queen, to the chagrin of some. I can’t figure out why. When Jessica Dubroff who was the same age (7 yr.) was attempting to break some record by being the youngest pilot to fly coast to coast, or something like that, she surely had the support of her family and many well-wishers. We know how that turned out. Samba dancing at Carnival is in no way dangerous. Julia may never get that coveted place again, why did not people just let her enjoy her moment without controversy. Why do you think people would make a bigger flap over dancing then flying a plane?
