Right now everyone’s freaking about this half-Indian beauty queen (extreme right) who was crowned Miss Japan on Monday. Striking a fresh blow for racial equality, Priyanka’s tearful victory comes a year after Ariana Miyamoto faced an ugly backlash for becoming the first black woman to represent Japan. (Instagram)

Now some instas (in her own writing) of the new Miss Japan that prove she knows how to win this game called life. Spoiler Alert: There’s more to life than being a “haafu” - the Japanese for “half”, a word used to describe mixed race - and winning Miss Japan. Like yummy gummy’s to snack on when you need to concentrate. (Instagram)
