Europeans can have so many different looks without being mixed. I actually know someone who looks like her and she is 100% white.
Why are people so jealous of Europeans? Haha.
Which of these comments sounded jealous to you?
There is no way in hell this girl is 100% white. She looks mixed with black and Native American, she could pass as a multiracial Puerto Rican or a multiracial Brazilian.
nah, Germans use to have these features.
