Photos of Miss South Africa wearing gloves while visiting black children at an orphanage in Soweto sparked a online outcry - but the orphanage staff say any insinuation that Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters is racist is "ridiculous".

"Of course it wasn't because she didn't want to touch black children," says Carol Dyantyi, a spokesperson for the Orlando West Community Centre Ikageng.

Nel-Peters was volunteering to feed orphans at the centre, and the gloves were a health and safety measure.

"We told her, and all other volunteers, to wear them while they were handling food around the children," Dyantyi tells BBC Trending. "It was purely to protect the children from the risk of contaminated food. This social media reaction is ridiculous."

Thousands of Twitter users criticised Nel-Peters after photos of her at a soup drive on Wednesday began to circulate on social media.

Many accused the beauty queen of wearing the latex gloves "because she didn't want to touch black children" and shared images of her hugging dogs and white children with bare hands.

Oh the cesspool that is Twitter

Not sure if you know this but HIV cannot be transmitted by skin to skin contact or by ingestion.

Have I travelled back in time 30 years? HIV isn't transmitted via skin contact. Also the orphanage made her wear gloves

The pedophile advocates I've so far seen on this forum, are couple individuals who are most definitely far off to the right.

Some, yes. I'm mostly refering to certain unnamed ones, who always advocate removing age of consent, because in their opinion it's oppressive to men. And one individual while saying that, also has said that any women over 100 lbs is overweight. It's not very hard to connect the dots there.

I also find it amusing because I went to a special school and people with Downs Syndrome understood HIV can not be transmitted via skin

Yes I am sure it were ring wing bots that accused a white woman of racism towards black kids.

I wonder how many will overlook this little tidbit even in this thread.
