Miss Universe 2013 Hot Picks 16 By Missosology Termed Racist, See Why
Missosology - the online magazine for beauty pageants has landed itself into a bit of controversy. The magazine on Monday came out with "Miss Universe 2013 Hot Picks No. 16" which has the name of the contestants from all non-Asian and non-Black countries, thus angering the fans from other countries.
The top 3 favourite contestants listed by Missosology are Miss Venezuela, Miss Puerto Rico and Miss Brazil. Other "Hot Picks" listed by Missosology are Miss Great Britain, Miss Turkey, Miss Romania, Miss Panama, Miss Greece, Miss Nicaragua, Miss Italy, Miss Lebanon, Miss Sweden and Miss Estonia.
The last three favourites are Miss Serbia, Miss Mauritius and Miss Dominican Republic. Though it is just a prediction and has nothing to do with the real time results but it is enough to get the temper of the fans rising. Miss Malaysia 2013 tops the people's choice poll at the Miss Universe 2013 official Facebook page, followed by Miss Philippines and other Asian countries. Fans are not happy that none of the Asian beauties are covered in the Top 16 Hot Picks.
"No ASIANS hahaha call me bitter ! but this is RACIST the fake enhanced beauties under the knife leads this hotpicks ," writes a fan Obet Dizon on Missosology's Facebook page.
Some of them are even mocking at the predictions.
" LOL. Racist prediction! No Asian. No dark skin. Sorry. Not valid," commented Indah Larasati Soeroso.
"What ...... ??? Not Vietnammmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... No Asian," wrote another fan Chênh Vênh from Vietnam.
Others were ready to call the predictions a "joke."
" No Philippines, Ukraine, France, Poland, Australia, Czech republic, Usa, Israel and Indonesia, Its a JOKE!!!!!," wrote Zj Asilo Albaytar.
Some fans have even gone to the extent of calling the expert online magazine for all three beauty contests "a bunch of ordinary people."
" I dunno who your analysts are to even have the confidence to post your prediction list and call yourselves beauty experts lol. Missosology admins are just a bunch of ordinary pips like us who look at beauty no different from ordinary humans, too, like us. So who cares now with your prediction? Your choices are weird," wrote Jeremy Bascos on their Facebook page.
Do you agree that the latest prediction from Missosology for the Miss Universe 2013 contest are biased towards Asians or is it racist? The Miss Universe 2013 contest is scheduled to take place on November 9 in Russia.
