A University of Texas-Austin student is dealing with a lot of backlash and Twitter trolls after being crowned as the 2017 Miss Black University of Texas at an annual pageant.
Why? Because some think she isn’t “black enough.”
The pageant, in its 35th year, was hosted by the Iota Delta chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, took place Sunday on the UT campus. For nearly five hours, the eight contestants danced, sang, acted, shared personal experiences, pitched their platforms, answered questions and gracefully walked across the stage in heels and gowns.
Rachael Malonson, a biracial UT journalism senior, was crowned the winner.
But several people on social media expressed disappointment in the fraternity for selecting a winner who they say does not represent the black community because she does not look black. Some Twitter trolls even outright asked what her race was and questioned her blackness, even after being told she was biracial.

people who scream for equality yet are prejudice at the same time. the hypocrisy never ceases to me amaze me.

They pick on her yet they probably support Rachel Dozeal and Shaun King.

Funny how this chick has the same racial makeup as Obama and he was treated as the savior for black people while this chick gets all this shite.
It's LITERALLY (and in this case it really is literally) all about the tone of the skin. If that's not the classical definition of pure racism then I don't know what is.
But we're the racists according to the Gravy Bunch. Figures.

Ehhh it's several people on twitter getting upset over it. Move along.

There shouldn't be a black only pageant to begin with. Could you imagine the outrage if there was a 2017 Miss White University of Texas

This is 2017. Can you imagine if they had a whites only pageant?! The outrage would be unreal. Yet they can hold black pageants when there is absolutely NOTHING stopping them from entering and winning the regular pageant.

shite, Rashida Jones looks blacker than this girl, and Rashida was already the least "black-looking" biracial/partially black woman I've ever seen.
I would have pegged her for Hispanic, if any minority.

I guess people want to go back to the old standard of darkness.

Can you imagine if an LSU frat held a WHITES ONLY pageant.
Posted on 5/5/17 at 9:51 am to tke857
A quick google search shows she looks more black (I feel racist for typing that) than the pageant photos let on and that her brother doesn't look white at all.
Twitter will soon forget about this and move on.

No, they can. Whites just cannot enter the black one. Equality and all that.
