Yes, way back when I was a kid and before, it was a thing to prove how white Spanish your family was, and blacks, before intermarriage became common, were a small minority here, and there was a lot of discrimination against them.
But these days? Please! Only in the minds of culture warriors does this conflict exist.
Well, it's totally controlled by Democrats, so I'm not surprised.
Even though Miss “high and tight” won the contest, I’m willing to bet Miss PR does better in the long run. She’s way hotter, and appeals to far more Americans.
It seems if Africans don’t win EVERYTHING now, the race card is played. Just wait until next year, only trannys will be allowed to win.
“As white people we have to admit that we have an internalized racism, whether we want to admit it or not. We cannot, as white people, say what is racist and what is not racist”

“As white people we have to admit that we have an internalized racism, whether we want to admit it or not. We cannot, as white people, say what is racist and what is not racist”.
To put this in terms that libertarians and objectivists can understand, they are requiring the sanction of the victim. Shrug.
It’s a preference! Or are we going to call a black person who prefers a partner who is lighter skinned or white “racist” as well?
Oh, and if it’s impossible for black people to be racist, then why can’t Puerto Ricans be socially immune from being racist?
Madi could have very well brought the fact that she was discriminated by many when she won the Miss PR crown in June because she was called "white" and "gringa" and a bunch of horrible things. She learned to better her Spanish in 3 months and immersed herself in all things Puerto Rican. She did not bring this up in Miss Universe - there was no need to. Miss Mexico could have brought up the issue of the southern border, the children in cages, and how 'racist' Trump is and she could have won the crown as well. She did not do this. I respect that.
There were 6 female judges. The pageant was in Atlanta, held at Tyler Perry Studios. I think that this made a difference. Had there been a male judge or two (real men, not pussies), then Madi could have won. It's not a pageant about beauty anymore, it's now about Empowerment. Well, if that's the case, then someone needs to create a Miss Empowerment Pageant. I prefer the old Trump-Era Miss Universe.
In another topic about Madi, her mom Belinda said it best, in a post yesterday:
Madison es Puertorriqueña tanto como Yo, que soy su madre. Yo soy puertorriqueña y mis ancestros fueron mujeres luchadoras, fuertes y orgullosas de su tierra.El que yo haya tenido que partir a rumbo de otras tierras no se deja de amar a PR. Al contrario, se tiene que hacer más esfuerzos y tiempo para mantener tradiciones y enseñar lo que no se aprende en tu nuevo país de PR. El amor y respeto a Puerto Rico se enseña a nuestros hijos en el hogar diariamente. Ese es nuestro legado. En la historia del mundo hay muchas civilizaciones y pueblos que han desaparecido con el tiempo. Se dice que se incorporaron a nuevas tierras y dejaron su identidad y tradiciones. Eso es una realidad! Te diré que Puerto Rico nunca morira, porque no importa en que tierras estemos la madre puertorriqueña le hablara a sus hijos de su isla,le enseñara de sus tradiciones y canto a sus hijos y esos hijos se convierten en hijos de Borinquen. Talves no hablamos el español perfecto que usted tiene pero vamos hablar directo al corazón! “Yo soy Boricua para que tú lo sepas” y mi hija lo es también! Viva mi patria que por siempre la amare! Dios lo bendiga y tenga un buen día!
