Mos Def!! Would be just as big an issue..
Well it was Japanese folks who selected her to be Miss Japan. Considering Japan is 98% ethnically Japanese I'd say they're pretty damn progressive choosing someone of mixed race to represent their country.
It wasnt until 1984 that Vanessa Williams was selected as the first black Miss America.... Black folks make up roughly 14% of the U.S. population, in Japan black folks or half black half Japanese folks are an incredibly small demographic.
