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.
I thought she was Portuguese

yeah. she regards herself as a white woman like Ali Landry, Minka Kelly, and Catherine Zeta Jones? she should look in the mirror. They all should look in the mirror. Advice from the ever wise Me/Quinn.
leave me alone
Then leave me alone.
She is white. All the women you quoted above are white. Do you think that Europeans are all blond and blue eyed? Blue eyes and blond hair are recessive traits. In Europeans you can have brown eyed brunets, blue eyed blonds and green eyed redheads all in the one family. My family is like this. Are you saying the brown eyed brunet is not as white as the siblings with the recessive genes? It really does my head in that people claim a Welsh lass like Catherine Zeta Jones is not white!! Nina comes from Bulgaria she is not Roma. You all need to read a bit more.
Commonsense I’m not sure whether you were being sarcastic??
They are obviously all white women. People here are retarded
She is sexiii girl
Hem. Chrissy, I’m sorry but you’re wrong when you say french people have a darker-colored skin than bulgarian people … Most french people are light-skinned sometimes even paled-skinned. I know it because I’m French and I’m white light-skinned. Nina Dobrev is indeed white caucasian, as european people are, as french, english, german people are. But we can say she has an olive-skin. But seriously, these conversation becomes quite ridiculous, do you really have to yell and argue for nothing ?
They say that French “belong to the Latin” …
Latin is an ancient language and yes French derives from that language. But what is your point exactly?
Wow, um ok? Everyone that doesnt agree with me then thats ok. But oringinally gypsies came from Egypt and India and Ethopia, therefore she could have came from any of those. Also she is not white, please lets not try to focus on skin tone just look at hair facial features.
Ok, i personally am Bulgaria- are you saying that i’m not white, because i have the same skin tone and hair as her, or just because you are ignorant as fuck… I’m glad that there are people like you who finally told me that i’m black or asian- good to know…
just ignore stupid ignorant people… they only embarrass themselves… im bulgarian too and i find this completely ridiculous!! we are white caucasian and educated people know that.
I’m sorry, but your the stupid one, actually i mean who insults people online i mean what did i ever do to you, NOTHING! So take your low life ass and go out and learn something…K?
omgg… seriously!! go read a book and educate yourself because you sound like a complete idiot… and that goes for absolutely everyone that thinks that bulgairans are not white!! being white Caucasian has NOTHING to do with the color of your skin do you know how dark most french people are … muccchhh darker than nina… i am bulgarian and we are WHITE CAUCASIAN!! all of us!! you will never hear a person from anywhere in Europe say bulgarians are not white!! lmaoo you are sooooo dumb!! shutt upppppppp!!! ohh and what exactly about her hair and features are not whiteeee… her features are completely Caucasian … and what are you talking about her hair for she has smoothe brown hair wtf is so non-white about that… lmaoo you are crazyy and soooooo uneducated … really stop embarrassing yourself
Um… lol i find it funny how you come on here to insult me, gosh you really need to go out and get a life, i didnt do anything to you and you shouldn’t be offended so you need to shut the hell up….GOT IT?
Btw….I am not dumb, I am educated, and your the stupid one coming on here insulting me i was stating a opinion…A OPINION…danggg and plus you dont know, what she is she could be gypsy, she might not, you never know, but the thing is that was stupid of YOU to insult me like that!!!!!:P
There are also Romanian gypsies and Irish gypsies. Although Irish people don’t like to be called gypsies. They prefer to be called “Travelers”. Don’t just focus on facial features but also the mentality and diseases in her family. Like for example Tay-sachs disease is disproportionately high among Jews then white non-Jews.
Hey Guys Calm Down nina is not White and her colour isnt black or very Dark she is Tan Or Olive Who Cares about nina’s Colour as long as she is Talented ,Cute, Caring and funny with a Sexy Body then she is liked
She is white. People from bulgaria are white. Who says white people MUST be pale skinned and blue eyed? Thats a stereotype and should make you feel dumb for thinking it!
BTW Im darker then nina and guess what? Im white!
This site says you have to be pale, blonde, and have blue eyes to be white. You also have to be as “pure” as the driven snow.
Just look at Daniel’s comment on Megan Fox’s page. According to him, only Swedes and Danes are white.
