The Miss France 2009, born to an African-American mother and white French father, said Sunday she wants to advertise her country's diversity on the world stage. Chloé Mortaud, 19, and standing 1.80 m tall, is not the first non-white winner of the beauty pageant, but she is joining a growing chorus of French public figures breaking traditions by speaking openly about race. Mortaud, 19, is a student in international business in the southern city of Toulouse, and speaks Chinese. She will represent France at the Miss Universe 2009 and Miss World 2009 contests.
