After being accidentally crowned Miss Universe by Steve Harvey earlier this month, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez discussed her reaction to Harvey's mishap with Colombia's W radio on Wednesday.

According to the Latin Times, Gutierrez said in the interview, "It was very humiliating for me, but also for the whole country and for all the people not only from Colombia but the other Latinos that were in the auditorium." Although the incident was embarrassing for Gutierrez, she sent well wishes to Miss Philippines in an Instagram post after the show.

I worked on the phone every day for years with a Service Center in the Philippines. They did not feel any connection at all to the Spanish culture or Language. They spoke Tagalog and English.

I suspect that because the Spanish were the old Colonial oppressors, the people rejected the language. I guess since the United States held it for just a few decades and then allowed self rule and independence they didn't hate us so much, especially after the Japanese occupation.

“Filipinas are not Latinas.”

You will have a tough time convincing me that ANYONE is a Latino. ;)

In as much as they were a Spanish colony they have just as much right to the term as a South American.

Let’s give her back the title that she never really won. At least her self-esteem will be intact even if the honor is counterfeit.

The Philippines was a Spanish colony.

The Philippines may have been a Spanish Colony, but they evolved a completely different culture and had a completely different history. They are even less Latino than Australia is American.
