If someone would have told me
that I would bear witness to a woman of African descent winning the Miss.
Universe in my lifetime, quite frankly I may have not believed. However, it is
clear the world's view of has evolved. When asked about racism after her
victory, Lopes responded, “It’s not normal in the 21st century to think that
way.” Smart girl. While it is clear that Lopes wowed the judges
with her beauty, it was her answer to a question about her looks that clinched her victory. When asked what “physical characteristics” she would
change, Lopes answered, “Thank God I’m very satisfied with the way God created
me and I wouldn’t change a thing.” Later on during her interview round she
also said, “I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty. I have
acquired many wonderful principles from my family and I intend to follow these
for the rest of my life.” Spoken like a true queen!
