She has some Hispanic roots, let’s be real
saying “let’s be real” while simultaneously not having any substantiation for that claim has to be the funniest thing I’ve read this week
she is listed in several websites as having Albanian heritage. This controversy apparently started after an interview where she stated to be “half German, half Alabamian” LOL
she look Jewish to me
Telling European gentiles and Jews apart is a game for mentally ill people to engage in.
Most Neo-Nazis are constantly suspicious and accuse countless European gentiles of being “Jews.”
In fact anyone that isn’t tall, blonde, blue eyed and gorgeous, can be morphed into a “Jew” in the mind of a miscreant.
If a Jew is tall, blonde, blue eyed and gorgeous, miscreants just say they’re “fake Jews.”
You stated in the past “we have a lot of woman like her in Germany”.
Her mother is Bavarian, Bavarian tend to be darker completed than those in more northerly parts of Germany.
She was born in 1942, I wonder what Sandra Bullock’s maternal grandparents were up to at the time?

NATURAL beauty
I’m from germany and there are so many millions who look like her
her eyes say WHITE SAUSAGE BOY ?
she looks Jewish to me too, which is not an “accusation” but a statement, and actually something good. As if being an Albino Caucasian was anything good, healthy, or even fully formed
