Valeria is a really nice girl. I know her personally. She was born in Russia and she has a German passport and speaks German without accent. She moved to Germany when she was 5 years old.

This Mexico-thing is weird indeed. I suppose MGC needed a Mexican delegate in the Miss WM-pageant but probably didn´t find one. THerefore they asked Valeria if she would like to compete as Mexico due to her Latin look.

A German delegate doesn´t have to be blonde. As you know Germany is a very multicultural country. WE have many Turks, Asians, E-Yugos, Blacks etc. When they have a German passport they are allowed to compete.

I just want to say, that I would never say something about her personality, I don't know her. I just met her in competition and agree to your statement that her german is very good -uyjr6-

But for me a german contestant have to be easy to identify with this country. Like a german name, the look or something else. When i see a picture of her I would never think she's the german contestant.

I was not my intention to say something racistic, it's just strange for me to understand that she is german, but also mexican, russian maybe a little british or whatever. Rolling Eyes

It's maybe about my expectation of a german contestant. She's pretty as well, but in my opinion not the right choice for germany.

better explanation Michael? Smile

Valeria did her best to represent Germany at MU this year. About her Italian/Ukrainian origin: this doesn't matter as long as her passport is German At least for MU which is looking somehow for a latin looking girl. But I agree that it would be nice to have a nice blonde girl again at MU wearing the Germany sash!
