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.
if you don’t know SQUAT about culture, don’t make stupid comments. just because she is T-A-N doesn’t make her less white than Germans, etc. Eastern Europeans are in fact Caucasian. BUT, they have the ability to tan naturally, unlike, “white” Caucasians, i.e. German, Swedish… I’m Romanian, so I know this. But, honestly, S T F U IF YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT CULTURE.
She is brunette, thats why you think she isnt white? There are white people with brown (or even black) hair and blue eyes, or blonde hair and brown eyes, but they are still white. She doesnt look black or yellow to me, i dont believe that i am color-blind
Dude all those pl who think she isnt white, your all fuckin dumbasses EVERYONE and EVERYONE who is european is WHITE white is caucasion its not the color of a skin tone its a race yellow is asian black is most of africa and white is every where else then hispanic etc., whatever!! shes white and what the fuck is “oh italians greeks bulgarians theyr olives” where the hell did u get that bullshit lorraine there is no such race how dumb can you get its just because shes tan but shes still white damn how dumb do you get??!
i always thought she was either hispanic or brazilian.
shes very pretty though, love her on tvd
O_o
She’s not, but she could be and still be of Eastern European descent. Hispanic and Brazilian are not races.
HISPANIC IS RACE
NOW DAYS
It’s not one.
I am Bulgarian and Bulgarians are all white. There was literally no way for them to mix their blood with other races, given the country’s cultural background. Only non-white people here are the gypsies, who don’t really mate with ethnic Bulgarians. She might be dark-tanned, but I can definitely recognize she is white. Some people here, like Lorraine, are ignorant and retarded. Bulgarians are a lot more light-skinned than Italians, Turks and Greeks, who are also white.
