Race or Ethnicity:
Swiss, Irish, German, Dutch and Swedish
The 49-year-old actress, who claims that her ancestors originated from all over the world, has dubbed herself a “racial mutt.”
“Racially, I`m a mutt. My father was Dutch, Irish and German, and my mother is Swiss and Swede – so many things I can`t keep track,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
“I have a real Irish temper. I`m very organised like the Germans, and I also have the thing that people say Swedes have – of looking like they`re keeping a secret. Have you ever heard of that? I`ve been accused of it,” she added.

To Kim J:
Germans and Irish are ethinicities, not separate races. They both belong to the European (Caucasian) race.
mutts are mixed cultures and ethnicities, not just race.
mutts are mixed race arent tehy?
michelle is just european… im highly confused
*face palm* Europe is a continent. That is like saying all peoples in the Americas are one in the same. A German is not the same culturally or racially as an Irish person and so on. They each have different customs, history, language, culture, etc. etc. I am really surprised that this would be needed to be explained to anyone to be quite honest….
I am mixed racially as well. Most Americans are. I am also a European mutt.
I didnt notice Swedes looking like they were keeping a secret. lol.
same here lol
Neither did I, must be a stereotype.
ha very interesting.
