It was not embraced well by other Belgians to the point of mocking its current winner Angeline Pua.
To date, Asians are still suffering from being tagged as a second class citizen. Her win is an eye opener for the world to see that her ethnicity will never define who she is, but she will be defined by her morals and beliefs.
The more they put Angel down, the more she will rise up and prove her worth.
Natalie Glebova won Miss Universe in 2005 representing Canada. But she is 100 % Russian, it was not a problem at all as Canada is known to be a melting pot.
Now, Angeline has a bigger story to back her up if she goes to Miss Universe - a Belgian who is fighting for the rights of the minorities and a woman who is ready to bring the fight against Racism to the rest of the universe.
God Bless you Angeline.
