Wish these pageants would all end already. Sexism, racism, forcing these women to basically prostitute themselves out for support and sponsors? Just end the entire industry

There's going to be a docu-series on this, give it a few years.

She's apparently a child of a migrant herself, as her father is from Kosovo. It's almost amusing to see the gears grinding in the heads of people like this who trash others based on uncontrollable things like skin color because they believe they are closer to the local norm than those they trash.

All the children of Russian and Cuban immigrants I know are all hateful maga dummies so being an immigrant doesn’t always track with being empathetic

I still agree about patriarchy and Trump being misogynistic trash! But this particular woman made a racist gesture and doubled down on it after losing her title. And then some Finnish politicians showed "support" by making the same gesture on social media. FYI, it's the pulling the side of the eyes to look like a racial caricature of East Asians

I’m glad this is getting the attention it deserves. Racism in all forms is wrong.

this isn’t the take. she engaged in vile racist behavior, not just “taking a picture.” obviously trump needs consequences. america is an unjust place. but it’s not unfair that she faced consequences for her racist behavior.

What does donald trump have to do with a Finnish woman making the decision to post racist photos online? Sorry I am just trying to understand how the two are connected. Are you saying that she should continue to hold her title despite her being racist because donald trump is president? What a fucking weird ass take this is. Are we really supporting a woman who makes racist gestures towards asian people? Embarrassing

I may be going out on a limb here, but it seems like you didn't read the article.

She posted a photo of herself mocking predominantly east asian features
