Here's an excerpt from that article on the Racialicious blog:

..."Based on comments from German online communities, it seems that the majority of participants in those virtual discussions happily accepted the fact that the arguably prettiest contestant won, some voicing that they especially appreciated the fact that a not stereotypically German looking girl made it.

Of those that did not agree, only few were blatantly racist, but quite a few more flaunted an only slightly more subtle racism. They argued that in line with the traditional laws of citizenship (with German citizenship only granted on the basis of German ancestry) Germany's next top model should be genetically and quintessentially German. The laws have long changed, but it seems that the concept they embodied still lives on.

Most posts that had an issue with a winner of color claimed they found it difficult if not impossible to identify with products or fashion that were advertised and promoted using a black model and that as Nuru looked nothing like the majority of Germans, she could not be considered a role model."

The author of that article goes on to say that only a minority of posters to German blogs articulated those opinions.
