Good for her that she’s hot, because, at least from the the Interviews that I watched, she seems like a very boring, arrogant, and rude person. btw she does not look Irish, it seems the Jewish part came strong in her looks, Jews can have pretty “dark” features as well. Anyway, it can be just another white person who tans easy and because of that thinks it’s nice to look as dark as possible lol… And makeup can do that too, whatever, don’t really care about her, she is one of those people who are famous only because of looks, im just comment to point out that she does not look like a nice person and guys should consider this before simping over her.
Agree. I don’t think she’s Irish or German and if the Jewish population had any pride, they would refuse to claim her. She’s a porn star, not a model. Models have class
Irish Mestizo??? So they would soon invent a term for whites and Reds that only because they were born with brown eyes, not blue, for Danish mestizos descended from Nigerians? I’ve never seen such a stupid comment.
“Emily is more of a white girl than just getting a tan fools any asshole…” The features on her face are very reminiscent of white Italians who love the sunlight of European summer without fear of being mistaken for an Australian Aboriginal by an ethnic site commentator.
This Irishwoman is infinitely prettier than many blond, fat from McDonald’s with streaks in her ass. I’d bet that if she married the English Prince Harry would have white children, but more tan than black marble on the beach, unafraid to stop being white, and they would never cease to be white because of a tan, only a wacky brains would think so. I would not trade Emily Ratajkowski for any fat blonde with a pallor even if she offered me a million pounds.
It was one of the most ridiculous comments I’ve ever read… Is this a joke or did I still stop laughing?
You need to find a job. You take things way too seriously m.
Emily has given birth to White baby which shouldn’t be surprising considering all her family tree are caucasians. Ignore the ignorant racists and jealous fustrated non-whites.
“Ignore the ignorant racists and jealous frustrated non-whites.”
It’s ironic because you are the one who comes across as somewhat racist in that last sentence. Why specifically non-whites would come across as jealous and frustrated?

Mimi that’s utter bigotted crap. Lot’s of nice looking women from there.
Don’t see much of the Polish but there is Irish in the mix too, so that’s probably what it is.
Karolina Wydra is Polish and looks a lot like Emily.
