Summary
Miss Finland 2025 has been stripped of her title after a photo was posted of her pulling her eyes and smiling with the caption “Eating with a Chinese." But the controversy grew even bigger when several members of the Finnish Parliament recreated their own, exceptionally racist photos and posted them online in solidarity with Miss Finland. The Prime Minister has apologized to Asian nations, but now there is talk of a tourism boycott and an even larger conversation about racism in this world.

| 1:03.4 | as the former Miss Finland from now on. But it's one thing to read about what she did in the social |

| 1:24.5 | At least I can't. |
| 1:25.9 | In 2025, knowing that you are a international figure now |
