i think the issue is due to arabization this is the Sudanese standard of beauty
Lupita is real and natural Nubian beauty...
unlike Northern Sudanese women she isn't ashamed of what she is or feels the need to alter her appearance to look like more mainstream(white)acceptable and yet still is gets international praise for her undeniable beauty which threatens/upsets some people
i've never seen "12 Years" (nor plan to)either but the Academy Award among others disagree with you
What is this mess? you just bloody came at me out of nowhere, and suddenly my opinion representative of the entire population of my parents country but guess what, it does not.
Just take a peek in our forum

I have my opinion about Lupita, and the people in our forum have theirs, and dragging a whole country does not make any sense. However since you went there "love" you should had posted this woman as a example.
Question which one of these women most of the men in this forum would choose to be a wife or girlfriend, Lupita, or the girl from Khartoum? I think we already know the answer to that.
Like i said before, i think Lupita is a smart and intelligent person who carry herself with grace, but she is not the most beautiful Kenyan. However i must admit the photo you posted and the pictures from the Vogue Magazine she does look great, and at her best. Looking at the picture again its weird, in some respects both women are equal in beauty, but in opposite spectrums, same kind of beauty but different. I cannot explain it.
All kidding or joking aside, beauty if pretty much relative, what really matters is what in a person heart, and intelligence. I rather more Bill Gates, and inventors to make the world better than some bloody beauty queen, which is really only bloody superficial. It takes these thing seriously nowadays.
