Ipinagmamalaki ng candidates mula sa Latin America na ang nakapag-uwi ng Miss Universe crown ngayong taon ay kapwa nila Latina—si Andrea Meza ng Mexico.
Kabilang sa mga natuwa sa kanyang pagkapanalo ay ang first runner-up sa Miss Universe 2020 na si Julia Gama ng Brazil.
Sa kanyang Instagram kahapon, May 18, ibinahagi ni Julia na masayang-masaya siya dahil kapwa niya Latina ang kinoronahang Miss Universe.
Kaya pakiramdam niya ay “represented” siya sa pageant kahit hindi siya ang nakakuha ng titulo.
Sa Top 5 ng Miss Universe 2020 ay apat ang Latina: sina Miss Mexico, Miss Brazil, Miss Peru (2nd runner-up), at Dominican Republic (4th runner-up). Habang ang 3rd runner-up na si Miss India ay mula sa Asia.
Sabi ni Julia, “This year’s title it was supposed to belong to a latina!
“That’s beautiful to see the latin strength and beauty having recognition.
“I feel represented.
“I wish the best for this incredible woman! It’s been a pleasure, an honor to share this unforgettable experience with this so extraordinary woman!
“Glow much @andreamezamx”

Bukod kay Julia, masaya rin si Miss Puerto Rico Estefania Torres sa pagkapanalo ni Andrea.
“EMPATHY AND UNITY”
Sa isa pang post ni Miss Brazil, naglabas siya ng saloobin tungkol sa "prejudice" na kanyang naranasan bilang isang Latina.
Kailangan pa raw niyang paulit-ulit na ipakitang may talent siya.
Sana daw ay matigil na ang ganitong klaseng kaisipan.
Saad niya, “As a latina, I have faced a lot of prejudice around the world.
“I had to prove my talent over and over, my working ethics, my worthiness. It’s just about time we end all kinds of prejudice and hatred against any ethnicity (Latinos, Asians, Africans…).
“May the world recognize once and for all the true meaning of empathy and unity.
“We can be so much better once United! I stand to work for it!”
