Natalie looks like a typical Romanian. Dark hair, dark eyes, wide face, wide set eyes, exotic features.

Natalie is not exotic at all; in fact she is quite famous for being a classic beauty. I do not think her eyes or face are ‘wide’ either and having dark coloring is very, very common. Your colors do not make you exotic one iota anyway.
Just saying.

I agree with Vanessa; Natalie Portman is good looking but there’s nothing exotic or particularly Romanian about her appearance. Her features are pretty typical of Eastern European Jews. She could pass as a local in just about any country in northwestern Europe.

everyone who says ‘who cares?’ well, we care because it’s interesting to know where one’s heritage and ethnicity comes from. who cares? you make it sound like an intrusive question. if you don’t care about this then you must be an american idiot that is P.C. about everything from racial heritage to your toilet habits.
