A viral photo of Miss Finland, Sarah Dzafce, has sparked controversy and racism, with many calling for a boycott of Finland over her “slanted-eyes” pose. The 22-year-old beauty queen had posted the image on social media without realizing it was a gesture considered insulting to East Asians. Despite apologizing, she faced criticism from Finland’s government and lawmakers. Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo condemned right-wing MPs who mimicked her gesture as “childish”. The incident has raised concerns about racism in Finland and sparked an investigation into anti-Asian discrimination.
