So in my country, the Miss Universe national beauty queen 2017 commented on the latest current events in the US, re: the ongoing protests n she put her foot in her mouth by saying:
Sth ridiculous n absurd.
"To the black people, relax, take it as a challenge, makes you stronger.
"You chose to be born as a 'colored' person in America for a reason. To learn a certain lesson."
So then she got backlash:
Until she lost some contracts:
N the national chapter/local director of Miss Universe organisation took her to task:
Even asking her, wdym ur white?(the 2017 national winner is mixed-race , brazilian-chinese malaysian but somewhere she identified herself as white n said she got bullied in school for it)
I think it got too much for her (when she lost contracts/job) so;
Then she said sorry:
Reactions differed.
Later:
basically saying, i heard y'all but im gonna keep speaking my truth.
Miss Universe org n event is so problematic, even without this person(she seems to hv severed contract abruptly, prematurely in 2018 when her contract was for 3 yrs). So im just gonna post this first without further personal comments now. I might edit/add more later. Just thot this was interesting n a snapshot/look at my country.
Wat do u guys think, if anything?
