    she looks exactly what she is, the dark skin and eyes too close and large, exactly middle eastern + nordic.

    • liniker says:

      yes she is very exotic to be “european”, as they say here, she looks really half Persian, it excites me, is a beautiful mixture.

      • liniker says:

        yes, she looks a lot like her mother, the only difference is the blue eyes.

      • Bella says:

        Exotic to be european?? Check out these albanian celebs and tell me their not exotic??
        -rita ora
        -zana krasniqi
        -angela martini
        -antoinette nikprelaj and many many more….

        • liniker says:

          @Bella They are not exotic at all,the only europeans that i find exotic are armenians,turkish and some ethinic russians.In this site i always see some person saying “i see italian on her/him” !,how this is possible?I’m mix of russian and german,nobody think that i’m exotic or “see” russian or german in me,i’m just white.

          Exotic means, stranger ,different, or crossbred people in general.

          • Bella says:

            Yeah that’s why people often assume Rita is mixed with black and all sorts when in fact she is white. :/ ??

    • Jenny says:

      Since when does exotic mean crossbred?Its not dogs your talking about ignorant

    • me says:

      What is purpose of this discussion anyway? Nadia Bjorlin is half European and half Middle Eastern, I do not think she’s exotic at all. I understand liniker what mean, if a person goes in Japan, biracial like Nadia Bjorlin, for example, this person is half European and half Japanese,of course he will be considered exotic because he is different from the others.

      • Jenny says:

        You know why .because they love to bash and hate on “Europeans” love to throw out comments like oh they are not just plain and like above for no reason throw out a comments like “she is very exotic to be European” which is total nonsence. But if are woman is pretty with just European ethnicity is all they mixed with something else .There are plenty of women with just Europeans ethnicity that are exotic looking eg Minka Kelly,Angelina Jolie,Catherine Zeta Jones because no one can believe on here that they are just European they are mixed or they wish they were more like . and that is only to name a few.it is plain ignorance and hate.
        Europeans have many different looks they do not all look the same but these on here are narrow minded racists.

      • Andrea says:

        for antrophology is not biracial because the macrorace is the same
        is caucasoid or europoid, but with different sub-race that is a mixture of nordic subrace and Irano-Afghan subrace, the result is amazing.
        i am 100% europoid, 50% mediterranean , 50% keltic nordic ,
        greetings from Europe ;)

      • mili says:

        serious?her mother is 0% caucasoid or europoid

        Greetings from Iran

    • Anonymous47ehdhy says:

      Middle Eastern is not a race. idiot

  2. Marko says:

    I thought she was Serb or something like that, she looks pretty Eastern European. That’s surprising that she is half Iranian though i don’t see much middle eastern in her, surely more white, but since Swedes are so white that’s why she probably looks more white.

  3. Lineker says:

    she’s a beautiful biracial

  4. Love you 2 bc says:
