Subject: NO MORE PUERTO RICO!!

Has anyone noticed something strange about the past 2 Miss Universe pageants? That's right, there has been only ONE black seme-finalist out of TWENTY. The reason? PUERTO RICAN PRELIMINARY JUDGES. It only stands to reason that no woman of African descent will ever win Miss Universe in Puerto Rico because they are BLATANTLY BIASED! It was mentioned that so many semi-finalists this year had a similar look. Dark hair and pale skin. DUH! IS IT ANY WONDER?? Just take one look at EVERY Miss Puerto Rico in the last 10 years. DARK HAIR AND PALE SKIN!!

This year had such potential for women of African descent, having broken barriers in countries such as Colombia, USA, Sweden, Honduras, Mexico, etc. It's such a shame that the pageant had to be held in Puerto Racisto AGAIN! Same preliminary judging, same bias, and wasted opportunities for QUALITY delegates.

I'm not taking anything away from Oxana because she is undoubtedly beautiful. But she won at whose expense? In my humble opinion, the Miss Universe Pageant should NEVER be held in Puerto Rico again!! Last year's pageant was a farce, and this year's pageant was an equal abomination.

When people commend Puerto Ricans this year for such an excellent pageant, all I can say is HA! They had nothing to do with the production, and oooooooh, how commendable that they didn't BOO the delegates on stage. It's EXPECTED not to demonstrate poor sportsmanship!!!

Next year, in Panama, I'm hoping there will be fairer judging. Panama has sent delegates of African descent before, so the preliminary judging should be slightly better. However, there are no second chances for Erika Cruz, Vanessa Mendoza, Malou Hansson, and Shauntay Hinton. All I can say is, what a shame!
