Cologne, Germany - Skin colour is not an issue in Germany any more, according to the latest winner of model Heidi Klum's popular television casting show. Sara Nuru, whose parents were born in Ethiopia, was crowned "Germany's Next Top Model" in the final on Thursday evening. The 19-year-old Munich student claimed the title after beating off 21,000 applicants during the show's three-month run. Sara's parents arrived in Germany in 1986 and initially settled in Gruenbach, a village of 500 in the southern state of Bavaria. "The people there are quite conservative and we were the first black family to settle there," she told the German Press Agency
