Black College Hit by Diversity
What goes around, comes around. Diversity is hitting everyone — even black colleges:
When Keylin Perez became the first Latina to be crowned Miss Coppin State University in Baltimore, she was thrilled. She had been named the university’s Miss Sophomore and Miss Junior previously and was eager to continue representing the school with pride as the 91st Miss Coppin State University queen.
But,
she received backlash, including harassment, from online critics who said the role should be given to a Black woman, since Coppin State University is a historically Black university…
Miss Perez is Guatemalan by descent.
Perez, who turns 23 on Saturday, said the backlash online escalated as some of the comments turned vulgar, with some even suggesting she [harm] herself.
She ran unopposed, but now students are mad because she isn’t black like 81% of the student body.
Look on the bright side, Coppin Staters: at least she isn’t Anglo-Saxon. That would be way too diverse.
A playful TikTok video led to cyberbullying against Keylin Perez, the first Latina to be crowned Miss Coppin State University at the historically Black college. https://t.co/zJotLRzgBT
