Is it racist to think

Why would it be racist?

You're saying "Finland is white, not other colours, WHITE." While statistically speaking it may be correct to say there are more white people in Finland than other ethnicities, to deny a beautiful woman the chance to be Miss Finland if she meets whatever other criteria, based solely on the colour of her skin......

If you can't see how that's racist, I can't help you. It's pretty clear cut. In fact, it's black and white.

I think that she can be a Miss Finland because she is a citizen of Finland, but most of the people here-in particular women-say no, no and no.
 
Well, the women might simply be jealous, of course. Allthough that is a much too often used accusation in cases like this.

People need to make up their minds here. Is nationality a colour thing? A culture thing? A legal thing?
 
Isn't the "main population" of Finland the people that are citizens of Finland? Isn't that whom she should represent? It would be pretty hard to beat a group that consists of 100% of the people as being considered the "main population".

-At least in this case it seems that Finnish women are jealous for her.

-Good question, but I do not know the answer.

It seems that people here think that only white person can represent Finland.

Also Finnish-Swedes are not popular because they are so arrogant.
 
Um... Does a beauty pageant contestant have to "represent" something beyond being a beautiful woman? I don't get it. If the question is about the woman in the video, what is her supposed ethnicity?

Sara Chafak was born in Finland to a Maroccan father and a Finnish mother.
 
this is 21st century but since we talk of misses i think they should be more native to their own countries, however all human race is sexed up to each other and you don't know really who's who, but that's cool.

and she's hot, i would bang, Marrocan's are whities too.
 

larss

I'm watching some specialist videos
that Miss Finland should represent the main population ie she must be white?
Yes it is. Especially in the case where the girl in question is of mixed heritage and is a Finnish citizen.


Ok, it seemed that that a couble of black boys beat up white boy.

Is it racist act?
That would depend on the motivation behind the attack. If it was for no other reason than the guy was white, then yes, it is a racist act.


Also Finnish-Swedes are not popular because they are so arrogant.
Unpopular!
My mother was Finnish from the north. She was adopted by Swedish Finns. Is she pure Finn or a Swedish Finn?
Come to that, am I half Swedish Finn or half Finnish Finn and half English?

Going back to your original question, if I was a woman, would you have a problem with me as a Miss Finland, or would I not be Finnish enough for you, or is it just skin colour that you have a problem with?

I would imagine that this is a bigger deal in Finland than in many other european countries since Finland for a long time hardly let any immigrants in from war torn countries in africa and the balkan. Most other european countries are so mixed now that something like this isn´t really an issue. That´s not saying that there isn´t racism in other european countries, because there is (lots and lots of it).
