A newly crowned Miss France beauty queen has become embroiled in accusations of racism and a catfight between previous winners just days into her reign.
The Representative Council of Black Associations (CRAN) denounced medical student Marine Lorphelin, 19, for being 'as white as snow' and criticised the lack of black and Arab contestants.
The organisation labelled the contest outdated and an insult to the country's ethnic diversity.
CRAN president Louis-Georges Tin said in a statement jointly issued by Miss Black France creator, Fred Royer: 'The failure to represent the contemporary French population in an event such as this is obviously serious. 'It amounts to denying the very existence of French people of African origin.'
The CRAN statement added: 'In the antiquated world of Miss France, blacks apparently can only come from overseas departments.
'As for Frenchwomen of north African heritage, they were 'represented' by only one candidate who was quickly eliminated (too Muslim perhaps?).
'Miss France is as white as the end of year snow on the steeples of an eternal France.'

From the looks of most of the Middle-eastern women I have seen the Burka ain’t such a bad idea. “Just Saying”
I just filled out my annual Self Assessment in preparation for my annual perfomance review.
The form is completely changed from years past.
This year there is a secion on each of 3 pages called "DIVERSITY & INCLUSION".
This is a space where the employee is asked to list "What specific actions has the employee taken to enhance diversity and inclusion at [name of company].
I filled in each box with;
"Other than interviewing prospective candidates for positions within [company name], the employee has taken no specific actions to enhance diversity and inclusion at [company name].
what you wrote.
Would they not look at that and think they have to hire more blacks and hispanics?
I wouldn’t call her “white as snow”. Her skin tone is medium.

apparently it isn’t just the no talent Hallie Berry who mau mau’s her way to awards
My children are half French American. They are very white and very beautiful.
Let us borrow from the Blacks of the sixties and beyond.
White is beautiful!
A french "african-american"?
This author sounds as stupid as the libtards who went to Africa and referred to all the local Nigerian citizens as "african-americans"
Perhaps. But not if they look at the people I and my team have hired in the last year. Out of 5, only one was a white male. And his qualifications were too good to pass up.
There is a non-stop ignorance from so-called journalist.
So not only do there have to be special beauty pageants just for blacks, but whites are also forbidden from winning the pageants that are open to all races...AND they’re not allowed to have their own “whites only” pageant!
I know beauty pageants are not the most important thing in the world, but really, how much more of this anti-white hatred and discrimination are we going to take?
I suppose in theory, it could mean that one parent was French and the other was an American of African descent. More likely, just lazy journalism.
white countries, no where anymore.
mostly white countries are under threat due to those laws being used against them.
These north Africans , Illegals know down well what they;re doing as is the elft as the left sees pay back for white countries being great once upon a time
If the latter, another example that leftism (by any of its brand names incl islam) is a mental disorder.
Aussi loin de culpabilité que vous pouvez éventuellement obtenir.
Except for being white there is nothing in that article that is bad. So the only thing wrong with her is that she is white.
What a racist bunch of crap.
Wouldn't it be best to keep the 'loin' comments to yourself?
