  3. ooo says:

    SHE LOOKS LIKE A RUSSIAN GIRL

    TO ME

  4. Aria says:

    It says on her French Wikipedia page that she has Aztec roots…
    But just like her sister AJ, she looks competely eastern european to me.

  5. Marko says:

    All eastern europeans are white (Yugoslavs, Ukranians, Albanians, Poles, Russians, Slovaks etc.) if Ukrainians and eastern europeans aren’t white then I don’t know what you would classify as white? simply people from Sweden or Norway, even Irish people are not white then since many of them have dark brown or black hair! I am Bosnian and I have blonde hair, pale skin , and green eyes, and yes I am white and eastern european.

    • Marc says:

      Irish people are not white? what a hell are you talkin’ about?

      • BRAZIL says:

        irish people are the real white people

      • Me myself and I says:

        he said that after the American stereotype not even Irish people should be considered White. read again for God’s sake. He is just laughing at stupid people that don’t get that White come from extremely pale to really tan, from blonde to black haired, from blue eyed to black eyed, from straight haired to curly haired. And Whites are the only that come that way, so stop with the ‘she’s tan she ain’t White’ shit.
        Blacks come from light to dark black too. And there was a DNA done on two Black celebs (I thing one was Snoop Dog can’t remember the other.) Snoop was more White than the other that was twice lighter that Snoop. Race has nothing to do with tone. Get that straight.
        And I can’t get why do we even fight because of this. Do you see a black cat and a white cat hating on each other? They’re cats and they don’t care. We’re humans and we shouldn’t care either. Colour is just not important. I guess colour blind people are the luckiest :) they just see the 3 main races: Human, Animal and Plants :)

    • Me myself and I says:

      If you’re Bosnian aren’t you South European :P (just kidding)
