The new showgirls of Striscia la Notizia: no more blonde and brunette (luckily). But the racist controversy breaks out!

Finally, a new pair of showgirls could have been presented, far from the demeaning tradition of the blonde and the brunette, which has been served up to us for twenty "years now, yet not even the time to praise the different and at the same time very normal beauty, which immediately we have to intervene to condemn the classic and vulgar racism that reigns on the web, and beyond.

That's right: in the morning the two new showgirls of the 2017 edition were presented - here too we would have to discuss the need for female figures to show off but let's go further - and we had to witness, in spite of ourselves, a real storm on the web that has only one word: racism. Yes, because one of the two selected showgirls is black: a beautiful girl born in Moscow to a father from Angola and a mother from Afghanistan, with beautiful blond afro hair. is Mikaela Neaze Silva and she already seems to have to defend herself only for her physical characteristics. Incredible, right? Unfortunately not. There have been many comments full of racism that praise an "Italic" type of beauty and criticize "the" ethnic orientation "taken from the transmission of Canale 5. An unjustifiable attitude, which we hope will soon be officially resumed and condemned, which gives us the measure of the seriousness of the "racism" situation in our country. We not only appreciate the choice, but we also hope that, unlike in the past, the two women are above all enhanced character and personality. And from the very first photos, Mikaela seems to have a lot of it.

To keep her company will be the Neapolitan Shaila Gatta, who has behind her some small television experiences, including Friends And Hi Darwin. In short, we are very ready to cheer them on, and we hope that this choice will open horizons and minds and help to convey a healthy message of integration.
