Racism In Brazil: Black Brazilian Beauty Queen Says She Was Dethroned Because Her Skin Was Too Dark!

Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival is well-known for being a huge cultural celebration that draws in millions of Brazilians and tourists alike, all of whom hope to bask in the exuberance of the massive event. Each year Brazil’s biggest television network, Globo, selects a Globeleza carnival queen, who is picked from obscurity and hyper-sexualized to become the star of the entire carnival.
