・・・ PAULINA VEGA MISS UNIVERSO 2014 I find Mr. Trump’s comments unfair and hurtful. As a Colombian and as Miss Universe I want to show my support and endorse the feelings of the Latin Community. The Miss Universe Organization works independently of its owners. Over the past 64 years they have created partnerships with great social groups, helped thousands of communities, and united countries around the world in inspiring ways. If the Miss Universe Organization shared any anti-Latino sentiments or any kind of racial prejudice, I would not be in this position today. I strongly believe that what prevents humanity from moving forward is the fact of dividing and categorizing it. Recognizing and accepting the differences that exist throughout humanity is the first step in real and substantial development. We must work together for the advancement of our common welfare.
