Mexican singer and actress Paulina Rubio defends former Miss Universe Alicia Machado--who recently tweeted a prayer for the two Chinas, instead of North Korea and South Korea--with these words of wisdom:
"Leave Alicia alone. All Japanese people look the same and China is a very big country."
Alicia Machado, after deleting her Twitter account (of course), had this to say:
"I didn't make a mistake and I'm not stupid. I know both countries; I've been there. It was just a funny way to refer to the entire Asian continent. Like when we say 'Look at that gringo' and turns out that he's Canadian. We call Chinese to everyone who looks Asian. That's what I meant."
