In the aftermath of the offensive and racially-tinged remarks made by real estate magnate, reality television star and presidential hopeful Donald Trump, two countries have already decided to not participate in the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

Thus far, Mexico and Bolivia have confirmed their intentions to pull out of the Miss Universe pageant. Although the Miss Costa Rica franchise, owned by the Teletica television network, has not made an official announcement on the matter, at least one contestant has hinted that she is not in agreement with Mr. Trump’s foolishness.

Moreover, readers of La Nacion, the largest national newspaper in Costa Rica, overwhelmingly indicated in a online poll that they would like to see Teletica snub Miss Universe and further withdraw support for Mr. Trump. While contestant Stephanie Rostran (the young lady pictured herein) cited personal matters moved her to drop out of Miss Costa Rica, she told La Nacion that shew fully supports a boycott on Mr. Trump’s business interests.

Following is a report on this matter by Agencia EFE, international news wire partner of The Costa Rica Star:

Mexico City, Jun 30 (EFE).- Former Miss Universe Lupita Jones confirmed Tuesday that Mexico will not participate in this year’s beauty pageant because of the “racist comments” Donald Trump made about Mexican immigrants.

“As a Mexican, I am very offended and angry like everybody else,” Jones wrote on Twitter late Monday.

“As a Miss Universe, I think that Donald Trump is doing a lot of harm to the organization,” she added.

“It’s a shame that because of his racist comments we lose what the contest has promoted and represented during so many years, which is an atmosphere of harmony and peace among nations,” she wrote. “We will not participate in MU (Miss Universe).”

Mexican media conglomerate Grupo Televisa announced on Monday that it will not participate in media projects involving Trump after he insulted Latin American migrants, particularly Mexicans,

The real estate mogul and television personality said on June 16 that Mexican immigrants are “bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists,” in the speech he gave launching his bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

In addition, to solve this supposed problem, Trump proposed erecting a big “wall” along the frontier between the two countries and getting Mexico to pay for it.

Since then, the deluge of criticism of Trump has not diminished. U.S. Hispanic television network Univision broke its commercial relations with Trump last week and on Monday it was joined by NBC and Televisa. EFE
