She was born on the same as my dad and a day after me! I’m one day older than her. Ha!
Omg I love her, She doesn’t look asian at all, she’s full white and looks like it.
Even if she was, who gives a fuck? Being plain white is boring and mixed people tend to look better than monoracials anyway.
Being white is boring? That’s quite racist.
She has similar features to the Japanese as all Scandinavians do. She doesn’t look “white” in the German or Dutch sense, for instance.
Incidentally, Scandinavians do have Siberian ancestry like all North-East Eurasians.
She’s dyes it.
When I first saw her I thought she had some Asian in her.
Nooo
Being Danish she technically does (Siberian).
her mother has an Italian surname since she married Ray Lanzarotta. Jepsen is clearly Danish last name btw
yes, “Scandinavian” is not accurate. Ask ” BIGTIMERUSH12334″
Didn’t have time to verify this one. Will look into it later today.
