    Honestly people? She is white. She is part Tatar Turkish which is still white. You should really look more into genetics before you try saying anything about who is white and who isn’t.

      Nope, Tatar turks aren’t white. The only people who would are actually white are ethnic Europeans (Germans, Italians, English, Danish, French, Slovaks, etc).

    Her lips look like that of a Black woman. Are they real? She is very exotic for a White woman.

      You don’t get out much, do you? She is eastern European, if she wasn’t exotic I would be surprised. I am only part Ukrainian and mainly western European and my lips are very full. I saw some young pictures of her, she had big lips then too. Have you seen Angelina Jolie’s kids? They have huge lips just like their mom.
