She is very beautiful and I am sure she deserved to win. However, with every organisation under the sun trying to be more diverse and perhaps looking to get ethnic minorities to the front of the queue, there will always, because of these policies, be the suspicion she won because she was black and it was somehow their turn to win. I am not saying that was the case but it's what some may think. Just saying.

Is that like the suspcion that white women win because they are white?

So you’re saying if the final contestants were 4 ugly black girls and Carmen Electra that Carmen wouldn’t get a look in?
Times change and it's a perfectly reasonable suspicion given the discrimination in favour of other groups who claim discrimination against their grouping in past generations. But it's not obvious that it's the case here. So best leave any suspicions to oneself.
And, of course, there's now't wrong in contests to be awarded the most attractive accolade. Some just like to claim offence on behalf of others.
But picking up on ZM's point, if we're going to go the way of the Americans, how long will it be before the sisterhood of wimmin (you know the type - the Millie Tant out of Viz types) decide these good looking slim women are 'body shaming' those who aren't good looking and slim?
Personally I think her winning has got nothing to do with her colour and everything to do with the undeniable fact that she is stunning.
