I heard her say before she had some mexican roots as well
I have always thought that she she was an American who of 100% German descent. She is a very powerful woman.
she has heavy bone structure /heavy build , so she can definitly ben german,…or albanian!
o yeah and she has a ethnic looks with the eyes tans easily has thick wild manes ( hair) as exotic woman like islanders or native americans/indians , slavics etc mostly have
Why do you say everyone in the world is mixed yet preach about how people are not “white-white” and how you cannot be “white-white” and be exotic? What is “white-white?” A Scandinavian, who come from a mixed background, by the way? Or a figment of your imagination? I am going with the latter.
And Sandra is not exotic.
Ingrid, your name should be turned to Ignorant! LOTS of Germans have dark hair and eyes. In fact more have dark hair than light, look up the actual facts!! My whole family is from Germany and most of them have dark hair and eyes and some even have an olive tone to their skin, even the blondes tend to tan well…..there is such thing as stereo typing and you I am afraid, are just adding to a stereo type that is incorrect.
There are many dark complected Germans. Some, such as those from the Back Forest are said to have the blood of black Roman soldiers flowing through their veins (hence the often dark complexions and the name “Black Forest”) http://www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/black-germansblack-dutch-african-genes-in-germania/
I’m sure that in Germany there are others still that have Rommani blood flowing through their veins.
Bullshit. No European country has significant Sub-Saharan African genes, please show me genetic sutdies because I’m interested in genetics and know that facts. Having skin that tans easily and dark hair is the norm for Caucasians! The pale super blondes are rare. If you honestly think being darker means non-Caucasian/European ancestry than +85% of Europe is non-white. Please don’t link Afrocentrist sites, they make me feel stupid after reading them.
