Tristan Tate calls out public after outrage over Zimbabwe's Miss Universe entry
In a recent post on X, Tristan shared a screenshot of an article about the public outrage following the crowning of a white woman in Zimbabwe's Miss Universe pageant.
Addressing the issue, Tristan remarked that if the white woman was not permitted to hold the title of Miss Zimbabwe, then it would imply that every contestant from each country should conform to the ethnic native appearance.
The Miss Universe Zimbabwe competition recently made a comeback after a 22-year hiatus, and Brooke Bruk-Jackson was crowned as the representative of Zimbabwe in the event.
According to Essence, the 21-year-old Zimbabwean native and model received a variety of reactions on social media after her victory on Saturday, and some of them were rather disparaging.
Tristan wrote, "If she’s not allowed to be Miss Zimbabwe then every girl from every country should look like an ethnic native."
