She always did look like half Chinese to me.
opposite for me, though it didn’t shock me when I found out she was half Asian.
You probably just thought that because she has a straight body type with flat booty, I think facewise she looks Republican white.
what does republican white mean
Republican white is someone who looks like they go to community bake offs and all you can eat buffets with members of the Bush family.
I always thought she was just Irish.
she reminds me of Aubrey Plaza
Fake I meant.
She’s in a fame romance with aaron Rodgers. Poor woman…
