The most hurtful of comments for me was when Colombia made the Top 20 saying: “you’ve forgiven me. The cartel has not. They’re not handling it the same way.” This comment is offensive on so many levels and I was pretty triggered by it myself as it plays into negative stereotypes about my country. This was so fucking disrespectful how he still uses our country as a publicity stunt for the mistake we've all moved on from years ago. Show us some fucking respect!
Fortunately Gabriela Tafur, the queen that she is took to twitter to call him out and I have never been more proud
I could go on for days ranting about how insensitive and hurtful that comment was but my country was not the only victim of his ignorance.
- Mocking Miss Vietnam's accent with the cock a doodle doo comment
- Rolling his eyes after reading South Africa's question about the environment
- The Philippines/Malaysia mix up
And probably more that I missed too, but the point is MUO, you pride yourself on being a forward thinking/liberal organization that promotes DIVERSITY and acceptance yet this is the man you have hosting your pageant? What the f**k? He has got to go and he owes my people and half of the world and apology for his insensitivity. This is unacceptable.
