What is there not understand? If I was asked to guess what the origin at Pamela, I would have thought that she has Finnish roots! At first glance, do not say that she has Finnish ancestry. And it took several generations, and Finnish is not very pronounced in her face. But when I learned that her Finnish and Russian descent, I noticed that she’s really looks like Finnish and Slavic!:) I answered your question?
p.s I often speak ”Finnish”!lol

Could you please try to explain what you ment by this:
“and of course she does not look like Finnish,
becouse that passed a not single generation.”
I want to understand what you ment in this part.

Exotic is such an subjective word. thats why it makes a great ratings game. :) Everyone has their own definition for it. Heres what the dictionary says:
1. From another part of the world; foreign: exotic tropical plants in a greenhouse. See synonyms at foreign.
2. Intriguingly unusual or different; excitingly strange: “If something can be explained simply, in a familiar way, then it is best to avoid more exotic explanations” (Chet Raymo). See synonyms at fantastic.
