Nina Dobrev is a Canadian actress and model. She is known for starring on the series The Vampire Diaries, and in the films Dog Days, The Final Girls, and Run This Town.

Nina was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, to Bulgarian parents, Michaela (Radeva) and Konstantin Dobrev. When she was two, her family moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where she was raised. She is fluent in English, French, and Bulgarian.

A picture of Nina with her father can be seen here. A picture of Nina with her mother and brother can be seen here.

Nina once stated “I’m a Gypsy, what can I say…” It is not clear if she was referring to being of the Romani ethnic group, or to the term “gypsy” as it is sometimes used to refer to lifestyle habits. It appears that Nina often refers to herself as a “gypsy” in this latter way.

Two of Nina’s grandparents are named Aleksandr and Efi.

      Poor poor racist america. I bet it sucks to be you.
      There’s no such thing as “full white european”.
      European also means “Turkic” which is what Bulgarians are and what most of the nations of eastern Europe are mixed with.
      It also means, Mediterranean, sami, semitic, eastern Slav, racist America made “european” synonymous with “white”.
      It makes no sense but we’re talking about the same nation who’s government labels all the peoples of europe, eurasia, north africa and the middle east as “white ethnicity” and blames all of them for slavery in america and “stealing land from native americans.” Except for the people of spain and latin america for some reason.

      Genius boy guess what; Rita Ora is also european and looks european. She’s albanian.
      Romanian models like Lili Sandu and Alina Vacariu also look very european. But they are romanian, they are not western or “white” european.
