Miss Universe 2018 candidates are currently in hot water for making fun and mocking non-English speaking contestants. Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers was talking to Miss Australia Frances Hung and Miss Colombia Valeria Morales about their opinions on Miss Vietnam H’Hen Nie. Netizens, however, are not pleased.
Miss USA, Miss Australia and Miss Colombia mock Miss Vietnam.
In an Instagram Live session, they mocked and laughed at Miss Vietnam.
Miss Australia said, “Oh my God, she’s so cute!”
Miss Colombia interrupted and replied, “Fashion!”
Miss USA, then, ridiculed Miss Vietnam’s way of speaking English.
“She’s so cute and she pretends to know so much English, and you ask her a question and after having a whole English conversation with her, she goes—”
She imitated what is presumably Miss Vietnam’s smile then laughed insultingly.
Miss USA expresses shock over Miss Cambodia not knowing English.
Miss USA continued to look down on candidates who don’t speak English like Miss Cambodia Rern Nat.

“Miss Cambodia is here but she doesn’t speak any English and not a single other person speaks her language. Can you imagine?”
Miss USA turned to Miss Colombia and said, “You at least speak pretty good English.”
Miss Australia interrupted and said, “And you have your Spanish.”
Miss Colombia mentioned that fellow Latino Miss Brazil Mayra Dias also couldn’t speak English but Miss USA mentioned, “There are other women who speak Portuguese.”
Miss Australia thought how hard the situation must be, Miss USA said, “Poor Cambodia.”
Netizens express dismay.
“MISS USA IS CANCELLED TALKING SHIT ABOUT MISS CAMBODIA … FUCK THIS COLONIZER”

“Miss USA truly representing Trump’s America in the #MissUniverse2018 stage. The ignorance. She just sent herself home along with Australia and Colombia. English is not the only language in this world, @sarahr_summers and it’s not mandatory to speak it.”

“Miss USA is trash and even though clearly has no chance at winning needs to be eliminated for her xenophobic comments POS #MissUniverse2018 also sad that Miss Colombia is caught in the middle of it simply by hanging with her, guilty by association.”

“Dear Miss USA a.k.a Miss I-only-speak-one language, there is a whole world out there outside of the united states of America and English is not the only spoken tongue. Most of the other girls are bilingual.”

“So there’s a video of Miss USA, mocking Miss Vietnam because of her limited English. She prefaces it as Vietnam pretends to know many English phrases but not really because when she tries to have a conversation with Vietnam, she just smiles & nods.”
“And the blonde bitch laughs her donkey laugh and says but Vietnam’s cute tho. 
Typical American. Making derisive comments but put spin it in a complimentary tone so they don’t come off as offensive. I’m tired of it.”

“I’m ashamed that this person is repping the USA in the @MissUniverse pageant. #SarahRoseSummers should be removed and replaced w/ a compassionate and inclusive participant.
