        Er no…Look at this skin tone, eye shape and hairy chest. He looks exotic, like northern Indian (who posses light eyes).

        Colin Farrell looks very European in contrast to him.

        And what’s wrong with saying that some Europeans look “exotic”? Amazing how people in here get so agitated when somebody says this.
