Ethnicities are mixing now, so there’s degeneration, and it didn’t used to be like that."Remember how many beautiful women there were in the 1950s and 1960s, without any surgery? And now, thanks to degeneration, we have this."I love the Nordic image myself. I have white skin; I am a Nordic type - perhaps a little Eastern Baltic, but closer to Nordic."Interviewer Idov added: "I realise that just like everyone reading about human Barbie I had a simple narrative prepared in my head: A small-town girl grows up obsessed with dolls, etc."But instead I get a racist space alien."(mirror.co.uk)ANN.Az
