oh my God just look at the comments “german women are prettier” wtf!? men and women can be beautiful whatever their ancestry is, you don’t have to be specifically from Germany or wherever to be beautiful. I don’t think Uma Thurman is super gorgeous, but I do believe she is quite pretty, much prettier than a lot of other girls in Hollywood people claim to be “beautiful”.
