Miss Finland is stripped of her title after a racism scandal. The incident has caused a row within the Finnish government.

Sarah Dzafce was crowned Miss Finland in September, but after accusations of racism, the organization has decided to strip her of the crown. Dzafce posted a picture of herself using her fingers to pull her eyes to the sides to create a Chinese caricature, reports Hufvudstadsbladet .

"I want to express my deepest apologies to everyone I have hurt, especially the Asian community," Dzafce said during the press conference.

However, the incident has led to a political discussion within the government, where True Finns members of parliament posted pictures with the same gestures - to give Sarah Dzafce their support.

Childish behavior that is not expected from members of parliament, says government colleague, SFP chairman Anders Adlercreutz to Iltalehti.
