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The organisation labelled the contest outdated and an insult to the country's ethnic diversity.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.'

NON COUPABLE!
Good grief, so sick of all these sensitive people. She’s a lovely French girl. So now we can’t have a white-as-snow girl from, say, Kenya because that wouldn’t be right and we can’t have a white-as-snow girl from France because that’s also not right. So everywhere people of color might live they need to be in the limelight. Compete and shut up. These people seriously need to get lives.
I’m convinced Europe will clean house within my lifetime. This kind of thing just brings that day closer.
Miss France can’t be French? Give me a break.

Ditto.
I wonder how many whites were even included, much less won the Miss Black France. ...no, I don't really wonder.
You can say that again! :)
So there were NO applicants of African heritage who applied for a beauty contest? If not, guess France should do the PC thing and pass a law.
France (amongst other European nations) is killing itself with their "diversity". Oh no! An Arab didn't make the cut! The United Nations must pass a resolution. It's not fair! Whine.
She’s lovely. Beautiful eyes.
That one on the left is clearly a harlot.
Thanks to progressives, the words “diversity” and “hurl” are synonymous.
Progressives, you can shove your “diversity” up your collective sceptic smelly Obamas.
I don’t give a smelly Obama about diversity, I’ll take folks with ability - no matter what their color or background.
Pretty much eliminates progressives, though.
LOL! You must have x-ray vision.
she is beautiful.
Couldn;t careless abotu what anyone states but the majority of beautiful women are white, black men arab men, etc all seem to think so too.That is wy they chase them
Though one black guy did tell me why he hates black women and it was because they have bad attitudes and are lazy.
She is beautiful, stunning and she won and rightly so.
I see not many whites were in the African comps, how about them moaning about that.
Sick of this over emotion crap , everyone wants to be a victim.,
I grew up in the 80’s and we all wanted to be top dog, te toughest guy in school, we would have fights to prove ourselves and women were women.
Now boys are liek girls , or some of them are especially in the liberal areas, women act like guys and seem to not be able to say something without swearing.
Oops, read too fast. So there were no Arab contestants either? What is the World to do? Were there any French contestants with Asian heritage?
NON COUPABLE! - D'accord, monsieur!!!!
they have a Miss black France and whites are not in it but then they want to come into the Miss France and then complain they did not win or not enough of them.
Sick of this crap I really am, .
The left throughout the world have destroyed the west, we let in people who did not want to be native but instead use the country;s laws to suit themselves.
You know what they can piss off.
I;ve travelled many countries, some Asian women are nice, , some hispanics, quite a few of them for me but I spent a lot of time in northern Europe and Norway, Denmark and the women are beautiful % wise.
Do these north African men run about chasing their own , no they chase white women, the Uk has brought in quite a few black Africans and my family said who live there is that they chase white English women all the time, they ignore their own.
The white woman is a trophy for them just as blacks over here have said about white women.
