7. Only 5 black beauties have won the title since its inception.
The Miss Universe pageant is a celebration of the diversity of beauty. Sadly, its record does not necessarily depict diversity. Since 1952, only 5 black women have taken the title home. This includes Leila Lopes (2011), Angola, Mpule Kwelagobe (1999), Botswana, Wendy Fitzwilliam (1998), Trinidad and Tobago, Chelsi Smith (1995), USA, and Janelle Commissiong (1977), Trinidad and Tobago. This is why the pageant has been accused of being racist many times throughout its existence. Sadly, not only Miss Universe has this record. Even other major pageants don’t have a lot of ebony beauties who took the title home.
